Recent Posts on The Case for Global Film- Yurigokoro (Japan 2017) March 25, 2019This title from the Japan Foundation Film Tour proved to be a startling and, I think, rewarding experience. In one respect it bears a resemblance to Hollywood films such as those by David Fincher and Martin Scorsese. I’m thinking of something like Scorsese’s adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s Shutter Island (2010). Like that film, Yurigokoro is […]Roy Stafford
- Dad’s Lunch Box (Papa no Obento wa Sekai-Ichi, Japan 2017) March 25, 2019The bento or lunchbox is at the centre of traditional Japanese food culture. The box filled with cold cooked food is something I remember from train trips in Japan way back in 1977, but it seems it is still there in school as the Japanese equivalent of the British ‘packed lunch’. This short (76 minutes) […]Roy Stafford
- GFF19 #18: Reflections on Glasgow Film Festival 2019 March 24, 2019I enjoyed a busy five days in Glasgow this year with a total of 16 screenings.

- Capernaum (Capharnaüm, Lebanon-France-US 2018) March 24, 20192018 saw the release of six films of the highest quality which took many of the top prizes around the world at festivals and national awards. Cold War was followed into UK distribution by Shoplifters and then Roma. Burning appeared in early 2019 and now we have Capernaum. Happy as Lazzaro appears next month. What […]Roy Stafford
- Fisherman’s Friends (UK-Belgium 2019) March 21, 2019At a time when Talking Pictures TV in the UK is attracting more and more viewers to its offer of popular British films from the 1940s to 1960s (and a few other goodies too), it’s worth asking if in another 50 years, film scholars will be studying the ‘popular films’ of the 2010s. They should […]Roy Stafford
