The Review - AT THE MOVIES with DAN CARRIER
Published: 4 September 2008
 
Pick of the Indies

THE superb Boy In Striped Pyjamas is being screened at the Phoenix on Friday, September 12 with a Q and A with director, Mark Herman.
Herman turned the best-selling novel by John Boyne into a screenplay, before directing this telling story about the unlikely friendship between Bruno, the son of a Nazi concentration camp boss and young prisoner, Shmuel. The book has sold over three million copies and the film is set to be one of the year’s biggest hits.
A full review, including an interview with Mark, will appear in the New Journal next week. For tickets, call the Phoenix on 0208 442 0442.
Meanwhile, many happy returns to that grand old dame of Hollywood loveliness, The United Artists studio.
UA, dubbed “The Company Built By The Stars”, came about soon after the end of the First World War when actors including Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, DW Griffith and Douglas Fairbanks got together and decided they wanted greater control over the sort of films they were in. It went from strength to strength and was behind such hits as Some Like It Hot and Raging Bull.
It celebrates its 90th birthday next year and, to help jolly along the festivities, the Everyman cinema is screening the Woody Allen classic Annie Hall on Tuesday night. Film reviewer Barry Norman and BFI chief Amanda Nevill will be hosting a champagne reception. while the cinema, in Holly Bush Vale, Hampstead, is also running an exhibition of rare pictures taken behind the scenes on UA sets, featuring some of the great actors of the past 90 years.
Annie Hall is at 7pm on Tuesday, September 9.
