Shallow Grave, The Regime, Best Magical Realist Films & Question Schmestions

Mark gives his take on ‘Shallow Grave’, one of Danny Boyle’s breakthrough films, which is being re-released to celebrate its 30th anniversary, and sees three roommates find their newly accepted fourth roommate dead in bed with a huge amount of cash beside him; and ‘The Regime’, a Kate Winslet-starring satirical limited series, which depicts a year inside the palace of a crumbling authoritarian regime. This week’s One Frame Back is the best magical realist films to coincide with the release of ‘La Chimera’. Our bespectacled duo 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 the films that would make great operas to their thoughts on whether there’s a song in existence that can’t be improved by a gospel section.
