Film Synopsis

The backwater town of Skotlett is revelling in a music festival when stuntman James Bataille accidentally trashes a bar owned by Bosco, the disapproving father of his fiancée Concia   Bataille's reward for this act of vandalism is to go to prison for 133 years, which is just long enough to keep him away from Bosco's daughter.  It isn't long, however, before Bataille manages to break out of jail and return to Skotlett, determined to carry on where he left off with Concia.  Unfortunately, he hasn't only Bosco to deal with; the town has been invaded by a group of shape-changing aliens, and they are in mood for social niceties...

Kafka's tortuous trial of love
sb-img-0
Franz Kafka's letters to his fiancée Felice Bauer not only reveal a soul in torment; they also give us a harrowing self-portrait of a man appalled by his own existence.
The best of Russian cinema
sb-img-24
There's far more to Russian movies than the monumental works of Sergei Eisenstein - the wondrous films of Andrei Tarkovsky for one.
The best of Japanese cinema
sb-img-21
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
The very best sci-fi movies
sb-img-19
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
