I really enjoyed this film - lots of clips of Billie singing that I'd not seen before and many sympathetic interviews with other great musicians. Well worth watching whether you're a fan or new to the music of the woman who pretty much defined popular singing.
Great documentary about how the Amazon rainforest was cultivated using terra preta, a form of bio char, by the areas pre-Colombian native inhabitants. Well made and relevant to today's climate emergency, should be essential viewing for anyone interested in Permaculture or, indeed, our future on this planet.
There is a lot of criticism of this film which I enjoyed very much. It's a great story, of course, with lots of previous versions and the 1940 Hitchcock has long been regarded as a masterpiece of gothic horror although it now looks a very old-fashioned and more than a little bit hammy. This new version is well made, beautiful to look at with stunning locations around Hartland in North Devon (probably the only part of the Southwest coast unchanged since the 30s). Kristin Scott Thomas is wonderfully evil and the two leads do a grand job. Don't listen to the nay-sayers!
