Rome, Open City, Ripley, Films Featuring Imaginary Friends & Question Schmestions Kermode & Mayo’s Take
-
- Film Reviews
Bonus reviews include ‘Rome, Open City’, Roberto Rossellini’s landmark of Italian neorealism, which offers a portrait of life under the Nazi Occupation and is often cited as one of the greatest films ever made; and ‘Ripley’, an Andrew Scott-starring noirish TV adaptation of Matt Damon’s 1990 'The Talented Mr Ripley’, which sees the eponymous antihero become obsessed with a wealthy playboy and resort to extreme measures to impersonate him.
This week’s One Frame Back is the best films featuring imaginary friends to coincide with the release of John Krasinski’s ‘If’.
Mark and Simon help us decide what to watch, and what to avoid, this weekend.
Plus, they answer a few of your Questions (film-related) and Schmestions (non-film related), from what meal from their childhood they hate the most to whether it’s harder to identify poor acting in foreign language films.
