Excellent parody documentary about the British film industry
Peter Capaldi is wonderfully po faced in this satirical fake documentary about (the non-existent) Cricklewood film studios. He really convinces as he talks about the history of the place, the productions made there and the people who were involved, from characters parodying the likes of Buster Keaton. Gracie Fields and the now forgotten Andrew Keir.
Capaldi's film buff talks lovingly (with the odd clip thrown in) about the with great satirical wit and is really convincing, with only the odd comment to remind you this is a spoof based on the likes of the old Elstree, Hammer, Walton on Thames or Highbury studios. I thoroughly enjoyed this and would recommend looking around the internet for it to all with a black sense of humour and for fans of British films in general.
