5 x 2

After a successful foray into the world of film reviewing with his writing for lumiere reader, Jacob has now branched out and is also reviewing for 'filmguide' a website that has been set up by 1914 media trust. His first effort, a review of Francois Ozon's 5 x 2 created a little bit of controversy for the somewhat more conservative readership. Unfortunately the comments got lost in the transfer to the new site but if you want to read the discussion you can view it on the original blogsite.

I guess it's a good thing he didn't post his review on the beaver trilogy there.

I enjoyed 5 x 2, despite feeling uncomfortable at times. Nothing has yet tipped three dollars from its 'the best film I have seen this year' pedestal, but the New Zealand International Film Festival is coming...and it is only July!
