film 24: how to die in oregon


one of my favourites. dignified and touching and everyone in the audience shared similar reactions. i even offered the guy next to me a tissue once the lights came up. well worth tracking this one down - allowing people the control to end their own lives once they were told there was no hope left for them medically. it really was an amazing film.

film 25: neds


scary and sad and not fun. glasgow in the early 70s and one boy's slide into gangland. non-educated delinquents. there were moments i thought he might escape the world but relentlessly he was beat down and took the easy way out, of doing just what was expected of him. as i said, sad.
