Фильмы

Under Milk Wood
Mrs. Willy Nilly
Two versions of Dylan Thomas' classic play "Under Milk Wood" were shot, with the same cast, one in Welsh, "Dan y Wenallt", and one in English. Directed by Kevin Allen, narrated by and starring Rhys Ifans, the films were shot largely in the Pembrokeshire village of Solfa during the summer of 2014. This surreal and erotic interpretation of Dylan Thomas' work is the first theatrical production of the brilliant, haunting radio play since Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's 1972 film. Certain to astonish and excite in equal measures, this production reunites director Kevin Allen with actor Rhys Ifans over 15 years after the release of their cult classic "Twin Town". An ensemble Welsh speaking cast of familiar faces is led by Ifans as First Voice and Captain Cat, with Charlotte Church as Polly Garter.

The Reverend
Mrs. Jenkins
Fresh from seminary school, a new Reverend embarks on his first parish: A small, low-maintenance chapel based in the idyllic setting of a quiet country village. While on the surface the village seems to be a peaceful parish, with perfect residents, soon it becomes apparent that something more sinister lurks beneath the façade of a local businessman. On a wet, cold night, a mysterious girl visits the Reverend at the chapel. She is welcomed in warmly, but soon it becomes apparent that her visit is not for sanctuary but to deliver a message, a message in the form of a deep, bloody bite... Awoken with an unknown, uncontrollable thirst, the confused Reverend can't find any evidence of the girl from the night before. With nothing but his thirst and memory of the bite, the Reverend embarks on a mandate to clean up the village and the neighboring estate...by preaching or feasting.

В отрыв!
Jip's Mother
Возрадуйтесь страждущие, ибо пробил ваш час! Пришла святая пятница, вечером которой рай распахнет для вас свои двери! В этот день величественный и прекрасный уик-энд триумфально раздавит серые и тусклые будни. Оглушительная музыка ворвется под кожу, проткнет вас своим ритмом, словно шприцем, навсегда избавив тело от усталости.Особые таблетки взорвут голову и вознесут ее в заоблачные дали. Пьянящий дым заполнит легкие, остановив время и превратив его в бесконечный сладкий кайф. И тогда на лбу у утопающего в веселье мира, запылает яркая татуировка: «Музыка, наркотики и секс!».
