Morvern Callar


Here's a great film to watch if you're looking for something interesting on a quiet night in. It has a superb performance by Samantha Morton, an engaging plot, it looks great and has a truly amazing soundtrack (Lee Hazlewood, Aphex Twin, Velvet Underground). There are plenty of those Wes Anderson-like moments of great songs played over slowed film. It's mostly about Samantha Morton though. She usually plays sweet and endearing characters because she plays the startled innocent very well, but this film uses that to its own end. I watched a couple of scenes back straight afterwards and bought the soundtrack today. A lovely film.
