cheers for all the positive feedback on the review. I hope the film gets its chance in cinemas. Meanwhile I just spotted this in an Oscars/alternative-Oscars article: I’ve got a few people on my shortlist in this category: I was thinking of Chris Cooper, who does a fascinating character study in Breach; I was thinking of Gordon Pinsent, who’s been kind of overshadowed by the praise for Julie Christie in Away From Her; and I was also thinking of Glen Hansard, who’s so natural and likable as the street musician in Once. But I finally settled on Thomas Turgoose, who plays the kid who falls in with a skinhead gang in This Is England. I love this kid. I’m often ambivalent about child performances; so often the memorable ones are almost like a kind of freakish stunt where you’re really just marveling at their ability, their poise in front of the camera more than the quality of their characterization. But this performance doesn’t feel studied in that way; to me, it’s like the kind of performance Marlon Brando might have given if he were 12. It’s a complicated part, and I love the way Turgoose takes you all the way through this kid’s moral development, less through dialogue than by the look on his face. mgoer.blogspot.com/2008/02/and-oscar-goes-to-carice-van-houten.html |

There should be screenings at Edinburgh Film festival and a festival in London (Can't remember the name) both in June.

I just got back from a great little film festival in Austria (Crossing Europe, Linz) where I introduced 'This Is England' on the first of its 2 sell-out screenings. According to the festival organisers this was the most popular film of the whole event in terms of the numbers of people who wanted to get tickets. Several people came up to me in Linz over the next few days and said how much they had enjoyed the film.
I also mentioned to as many people as I could that they should keep their eyes peeled for Somers Town and there is already much anticipation. Hopefully the festival will be able to show it next April, when Linz takes over from Liverpool as European Culture Capital - the subject-matter of the film is ideal for this particular festival, which is dedicated to European cinema with a particular emphasis on immigration/movement/cross-border stuff.
If you are reading this, Shane, could you please drop me an e-mail (neil@cudas.demon.co.uk) so we can have a bit of a chat about it?
