Ye Old Curiosity Shop: Children of Men

As some of you may be aware UCA has an E-Streaming service that stocks a wide range of material for your viewing pleasure, this is an audio visual equivalent of the e-books available via the library and is also accessible through the library portal.

I would encourage you to watch Children of Men , directed by Alfonso Cuaron and starring Clive Owen, Julianne Moore and Michael Caine amongst others. Take aways from this film are the ruthless storytelling (I won't give away any spoilers), the cinematography and use of long takes and the way that our familiar world is distorted to create a dystopian near future.

Post your thoughts about the film in the comments below, how relevant are the themes covered? Do you think the cinematography and art direction captures the feel of a dystopian Britain?
