This week’s Talking Pictures comes over all nostalgic! There’s sweeping 1950s drama, Brooklyn, and its star, Saoirse Ronan, is in the hot seat for this week’s Big Interview. And there’s the re-issue of classic romance Brief Encounter to mark the film’s 70th anniversary.
Also in the spotlight is documentary, He Named Me Malala, about equal rights campaigner Malala Yousafzai, alongside DVDs Slow West with Michael Fassbender and Al Pacino as the reclusive Manglehorn. Plus there’s the new top five at the British box office – no prizes for guessing which film is number one this week! – and the latest movie news.
Your essential guide to the movies from London Mums’ film critic, Freda Cooper, is squeezed into just over 20 minutes. It’s on iTunes, TuneIn and right here:
