Framed
National Gallery Director
The National Gallery in London has flooded, and senior curator Quentin Lester has a dramatic solution. He proposes that the entire collection of priceless paintings should be removed from London and stored in an abandoned slate mine inside a Welsh mountain, as they were during the Second World War. Soon after Quentin is settled in North Wales admittedly more at home in a cave among his paintings than he is with other people he unwittingly sets in motion a series of events that wake up this sleepy, charming town. After mistaking local boy Dylan Hughes for an art history genius, Quentin finds himself in the middle of mayhem.
Filth: The Mary Whitehouse Story
Bevins
The story of the rise of morals crusader Mary Whitehouse in the UK in the 1960's.
Flower Power (como una regadera)
Parole Judge
Una prisión británica donde se desarrollan programas experimentales de rehabilitación admite a un grupo de peligrosos delincuentes. En su encierro, Collin y algunos de sus compañeros descubren un innegable talento para la jardinería y, animados por Georgina, una experta horticultora, deciden inscribirse en un prestigioso concurso nacional. En la misma línea de "Full Monty" o "Billy Elliot", esta película se sirve de la cruda realidad en la que vive un colectivo desahuciado, en este caso un grupo de delincuentes en rehabilitación, para construir una amable comedia, quizás menos ácida de lo que cabría esperar. La cinta, escrita y dirigida por un desconocido realizador, Joel Hershman, está basada en hechos reales, y la protagonizan Clive Owen y Helen Mirren, dos actores británicos que volverían a coincidir un año más tarde en "Gosford Park".
The Firm
Housebuyer
A seemingly respectable estate agent leads a double life as the head of a vicious, well-organised gang of football hooligans.
In the Secret State
Liz's Colleague
A Government Department with data on us all in its computers is not functioning quite as its ex-Head intended. Frank Strange sets out to clear his own name and finds he is investigating a murder.
The Unknown Soldier
RAMC Captain
The soldier in the spinal carriage can neither move nor speak. Who is he? His fellow wounded and officers are intent on finding out.
Telling Tales
Mr Willoughby/Paul Roberts
TELLING TALES is about the failing marriage of an industrialist and his wife, about the industrialist's wish to sell his company to a colleague, Paul Roberts, and about the terminally ill wife of Paul, Ingrid. It is also about the shop steward organising a strike at Paul's factory that jeopardises the deal with the industrialist, and about the wife of the shop steward, who happens to clean and cook for the industrialist. A network of intertwined tales told in different ways, and for very different motives, by the main protagonists.
Illusive Crime
Experimental narrative dealing with female oppression/class control. Controversial at time, especially among feminists.
A Prison Should Be Dark
Kafkaesque story of man arrested and imprisoned for no reason, and then – in impressionistic style – forced to reflect on his life.
