Just got round to watching a film called Stay (from 2005, starring Ewan McGregor & Ryan Gosling) which I recorded off Film 4 before Christmas. It's one of those trippy sort of films with lots of clever cuts & effects where you don't really know what's going on until the end. One of it's central themes is art, so the production is suitably arty, maybe to the extent of trying a little too hard. It made my head swim a bit, so it achieves its intended effect; but I enjoyed it when I stopped trying to figure it all out and and let it just take me along for the ride
I'm always behind everybody else when it comes to seeing films, since I don't have Sky, and don't go to the pictures (only for films that really need to be seen on the big screen) or buy DVDs very often, so when I do talk about a film, it's because it's been on the telly, and everyone else says "That? I saw that YEARS ago!" I am not bothered about seeing films as soon as I can after they come out, but I do enjoy watching them at home when I get the chance.
Anyway, Stay is one I'd recommended if you've not seen it already.
