Treacle Jr - go and see this local film

[floradora]

If you're looking for something to do this week go and see Treacle Jr - I went to see it last night at Clapham Picture House and loved it - funny, very original, heart-breaking in bits - it's all about a man who walks out on his family one day and meets a child-like guy in A and E who's just brimming with optimism - the pair end up hanging out and things go from there - watch the trailer to get a taste -it was filmed almost entirely around SE22 / SE15 so had fun spotting all the locations - Peckham Rye, The Herne, Lordship Lane, Blue Brick Cafe, Goose Green - written and directed by local resident Jamie Thraves - think it's on for a week...

i could not help noticing the plasters on his nose kept coming and going between scenes.

[floradora]

oh I didn't notice that - I did notice the nasty Linda had gone shopping in White Stuff though which I thought was a bit unlikely

[womanofdulwich]

;-) me too.

Sounds like product placement in ED.

['bout now]

It got a terrific revue on the Film show on R4 the other night.

[StraferJack]

heck it's so good it has FOUR FLIPPIN THREADS going about it now... sheesh

[bkkmei]

Just wanted to add my thumbs up!

[Only me!]

Good engaging film, with the added bonus of some local location spotting thrown in!

Some of the long shots, particularly of Peckham Rye, are very good indeed.

That did get me thinking that it was a pity that our visual systems don't come with a variable aspect ratio and framing widget. Seeing something 16:9, or even narrower, sometimes has its advantages. I think I might fashion something out of a cereal packet before my next walk there.

Were they definitely parakeets to be heard after the tree incident? Incomers and incomer.

[Only me!]

They did sound like parakeets.

But whether actual or dubbed in ... don't know.

Now showing in Glasgow...

Oh I clocked that too. Also, I noticed Tom had pampas grass in his front garden which looked very unlikely, also.

Darn...wish I'd known the DVD was out..Nephew's birthday on Sat, remember when watching it thinking that it would be perfect for him and his student friends....hey ho, first Christmas present bought (selling on Play.com ?9.99)- recommended.

The least critical one?

[the-e-dealer]

Is it suitable for kids?

[StraferJack]

that will be a "no" - not suitable for kids

[Cora]

Yep....maybe I should have stressed my nephew's 22! Not a kids film...

[Alan Medic]

Got this as a christmas pressie at my request. Watched it today. Not sure why I didn't particularly enjoy it.

[Alan Medic]

Where are the other threads? Should post there too to be fair.
