L'homme de la Tamise
Um homem de 20 anos vive adiando o tempo para tomar decisões mais sérias. Este sonhador solitário sucumbe ao encanto de uma vizinha recém-chegada. Porém, o ritmo descontraído de sua vida aumenta a sua velocidade quando sua irmã mais velha é brutalmente morta em um ataque. Agora, ele deve se encarregado de sua sobrinha de sete anos, Amanda.
Himself
Failed pop star. The soul of The Auteurs and Black Box Recorder reconstructs the purgatory of his career in a hilarious testimony that craps on every aspect of the pop music business. Those on the prowl for public relations and commercial potential have come to the wrong place. Haines is a notorious party-pooper, a wet blanket at awards ceremonies, and a sourpuss-that-sulks-in-the-corner. To relate his tragic-comic saga, director Niall McCann organizes a perfidious puzzle filled with talking heads: Jarvis Cocker, Stewart Home, David Peace… (or, as Haines puts it: “people who pretend they have met me”), unforgettable quips by the disgusted composer (“To hell with the common people”, “Britpop never existed”), and a script that resembles Winterbottom gone punk: actors that aspire to walk in Haines’ shoes, frozen images, surprising turns, and historical tiffs.
