When this movie started, I thought it was going to be a light romance focussing on Paris. Suddenly, the girl's brother goes missing, the hotel room he checked in also goes missing and we have a full on mystery.
Excellent acting, this is really quite tense and I really couldn't imagine what the solution would be.
There is a wonderful sense of mood, period and authenticity.
Dirk Bogarde is barely seen in the first half of the movie but comes into his own later on.
Beautifully clipped British tones, Jean Simmons is a delight.
The ending was unexpected, somewhat shocking and yet kind of believable.
This was an unexpected gem.

There's something about these kind of Australian movies that is a little like a warm blanket being put around you.
Based on a true story, this has the elements of a children's foundation movie with loveable animals and slapstick humour.
Some of the wildlife photography and scenery were breathtaking, fantastic to see this area and find out about this heart-warming story.
The comedy was a delight, Jack had glorious comic timing and the scene with him pouring wine in a restaurant had me roaring with laughter, he followed it up with some great work with the trans. Gun.
One for all the family, the perfect length and was just a real feel-good movie.

It is very unusual that I stumble across a movie that absolutely has me by the throat from the start and never lets go, Whiplash is such a movie.
On paper, the plot doesn't amount to much, a tutor trying to mentor his subject to greatness. It could be about the music and indeed, the jazz numbers are terrific and well worth a download.
But this movie, is about two people. The obsessed boy genius who wants to be great and to be remembered after he's gone and his tutor, an absolute tour-de-force by J. K. Simmons. Abusive is quite frankly, not a strong enough word. He takes his own desperation and lack of personal success out on each of his students. Foul-mouthed, vicious in every way, vengeful and yet you cannot take your eyes off of him.
Just like the drummer, I finally drew breath in the brilliant final frame. What a movie!!
