About “About A Boy”

Just got back from seeing About A Boy. I’d read and loved the book when it first came out, and although I was worried the filmmakers were marketing it as a “chick flick,” I really enjoyed it. The soundtrack, by Badly Drawn Boy, is also really good. I can’t get the song “Something to Talk About” out of my head.

I’ve just discovered that one of my favourite films is being re-released this summer. Giuseppe Tornatore’s unapologetically sentimental Cinema Paradiso (1988) has had its soundtrack remastered and the director has restored 51 minutes of footage. This one looks like it’s being prepared for a long-deserved special edition DVD. If you’re a cinema lover, do yourself a favour and see this on the big screen. (View the new trailer)
