    Student Protest

    My brother's going to study at Cambridge next year hopefully, we can't afford to pay £9000. I'm lucky because I am Scottish and also study here, so my tuition fees are payed for me. I can see pressure being put on rather quickly to make us pay as well...

    Favorite Director

    I agree, start with Solyaris, then Stalker and Andrei Rublev. I wasn't a big fan of Ivan's Childhood, but loved The Sacrifice. Mirror is his most experimental film and hard going for someone not familiar with his work I would imagine.

    Is Christopher Nolan quietly the best filmmaker alive?

    This. I'd also add Takeshi Kitano and PTA.

    Favorite Director

    Roy Andersson is awesome. "You, The Living" is one of the most fresh and original films I've seen in years. OT: Close between Andrei Tarkovsky, Ingmar Bergman, Masaki Kobayashi and Takeshi Kitano. Tarkovsky probably edges it.

    The Last Movie you watched and what did you think of it?

    This morning I watched "Werckmeister Harmonies" and last night "Through A Glass, Darkly". Werckmeister was excellent, but some of it was a bit over my head and Through A Glass is one of the best films I've ever seen.

    British = English?

    You live in Cupar? I have family there. I call myself Scottish, but don't mind being called British. To set something straight, the British Isles consists of Great Britain (Scotland, Wales and England), Ireland (Northern Ireland, Republic Of Ireland), the Isle Of Man, the Channel Islands...
