SUBLIME CINEMA #678 - THE INNOCENTS

The 60's creepiest film has some of the best black and white photography ever done, beautifully rendered on Cinemascope. The images shimmer in layers of fractured monochrome.

The movie has an artful quality that was so ahead of its time, which makes it stand apart from the standard Hammer horror flicks people were being fed in the 50's and 60's.

Meantime (1983) dir. Mike Leigh

a film exploring the day-to-day lives of a working-class family in margaret thatcher's england. with several big names such as tim roth (pulp fiction), gary oldman (harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban), and alfred molina (spider-man), this film is a perplexingly fascinating look into the lives of incredibly human characters. 6.5/10
