En la capital británica, Susie Wilding, novata representante publicitaria, consigue la oportunidad de su vida al presentársele la ocasión de trabajar en la oficina de Nueva York, un guiño de su jefe para ver si cicatriza su corazón tras un fracaso sentimental. La única condición para que todo esto se produzca es que ambos intercambien sus hogares: el ultramoderno apartamento de Lloyd en Manhattan y la vieja granja inglesa, atestada de muebles y rodeada de animales, de Susie.
Lucky Jim
Director
A rollicking adaptation of Kingsley Amis's first novel, Lucky Jim stars Stephen Tompkinson as Jim Dixon, a luckless lecturer at a provincial British university, trying to make a splash with his pompous boss, Professor Neddy Welch (Robert Hardy). Jim is also trying to make it with the woman of his dreams, Christine Callaghan (Keeley Hawes, Othello and Wives and Daughters), while simultaneously being pursued by the woman of his nightmares, fellow lecturer Margaret Peel (Helen McCrory, Anna Karenina). One (of many) complications is that Christine is the girlfriend of Professor Welch's egotistical artist son, Bertrand. Another is that Margaret keeps attempting suicide to get Jim's attention. But despite his misadventures, Jim keeps his eyes on the prize: a leg up on the ladder to a professorship in medieval history.

Lady Lazarus
Assistant Camera
Lady Lazarus es una respuesta visual a la lectura de la poesía de Sylvia Plath. Estas lecturas más extractos de una entrevista dada justo antes de su muerte proporcionan un ancla para una película que celebra su humor macabro y visión cinemática. Un carrusel de imágenes en ventanas, una atmósfera de constante metamorfosis; su poesía como cine.
