Carol DVD review

When a beautiful middle-aged woman leaves her leather gloves on the counter of a New York department store, it forms a small but pivotal moment in the life of a young sales assistant and sparks an intriguing new friendship. Rooney Mara plays Therese, the quirky, Santa-hat sporting shop girl and Cate Blanchett plays the eponymous ...

5 of the best eateries in Peckham

Peckham: home to John Boyega of Star Wars fame and Del Boy. Home also to some rather good grub from the many restaurants, cafes and pubs that are popping up, or are simply hidden away from the bustle and tumbleweave on Rye Lane.

The Quietus | Film | Film Reviews | Stronger Than Me: Amy Reviewed

Everyone knows what happened to Amy Winehouse. You couldn't escape the news headlines, the radio items or TV documentaries. The media were relentless in their portrayal of her meteoric downfall, and the public do love a good celebrity kicking. Those pictures of Winehouse stumbling out of the Hawley Arms in Camden with drug-hazed eyes were tabloid and paparazzi fodder for weeks.

The Quietus | News | INTERVIEW: Miles Teller On Whiplash

Miles Teller's breakthrough role in 2014's Whiplash made audiences - and Hollywood casting agents - sit up and take notice. As a quick recap: he played a drum student at an exclusive US music academy, passionate about his art and hungry for recognition - especially from infamous ball-breaking tutor Fletcher (JK Simmons).

Finding Hinterland: Harry Macqueen on directing his first feature

My plan was always to make an alternative road-trip movie. A very intimate and delicate character study played off against the dramatic background of the English coastline. I began writing Hinterland in October 2012 and we shot it in 13 days the following February.

Finding Vivian Maier

It's amazing what you can find in car boot sales, auctions and attics - sometimes, among the gnarly Toby jugs and cracked candlesticks, there's a box full of delights. In 2007 John Maloof found such a box at an auction house in Chicago and bought it for 380 dollars.

The Quietus | Film | Film Features | Dirty Movies: An Interview With Matt Johnson

For a young film school graduate, Matt Johnson has achieved an impressive amount in a short period of time with just a few friends and some basic camera kit. From 2007 to 2009 Johnson and his friend Jay McCarroll had a hit web series, Nirvana The Band The Show, a humorous mockumentary about two guys in a band who try, and continually fail, to get a gig in Toronto.

Angelina Jolie Takes Us Behind-the-Scenes on Maleficent

We visit the set of this live-action re-imagining of Sleeping Beauty. Nestled within the continuing trend of re-imagining fairy stories (Snow White and The Huntsman, Jack the Giant Slayer, and Kenneth Brannagh's forthcoming Cinderella), Maleficent puts a new spin on the Sleeping Beauty tale known by most from Disney's 1959 animated version.

Comment: Girls On Film

"The world is round, people", said the hugely talented Cate Blanchett to her 2014 Oscars audience. Ignoring the fact that Earth is, in fact, slightly oval, Blanchett's point was that men and women were equal, just as day follows night et cetera. However, equality in cinema is still often a rare thing.

We Are The Best!

is one of those feel-good films that has universal appeal - everyone's been a teenager and at some point felt awkward, weird and misunderstood. It's a film that captures that in-between age so perfectly that it puts a smile on your face and holds it there.

Yves Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent was catapulted to fame at the age of 21 when he was chosen to head up the House of Dior after the death of its namesake. Having then established his own fashion house, he led the charge for empowering women through their wardrobes, and sparked trends that have drip-fed through to modern fashion.

Kill Your Darlings

The excitement and air of possibility surrounding 'freshman' year at university is perfectly captured in first-time director John Krokidas' Kill Your Darlings - from awkward introductions to hedonistic parties. Daniel Radcliffe plays the unsure freshman experiencing the shadowy corners of New York that his poet father had hitherto protected him from, with the wide-eyed wonder of a newborn.
