Saw quite a few yesterday:
The Lighthouse - an Armenian drama with girl returning to her village in war time. I think that this is one of those films that one needs to know the context in which the story is set; I will read the booklet in due course, but for me it had too much of a detached quality, but it did have some emotional content and some decent shots.
Still Walking - Liked this quite a bit. Not as joyful or moving as some Ozu films (which it is said to be inspired by), it confronts some of the more unpleasant aspects in family life more directly than Ozu would - failed expectations, bereavement, fixed values and the refusal to compromise and adapt to new values. But still riveting stuff.
Doctor Who Creature from the Pit Episode 1 - Too early to judge; this one has a bit of a bad rep, but I like it so far.
Started on Footprints, but will finish it today.
