Dec 20, 2013The Making of Mary Poppins
Dramatisation of the prickly relationship between P.L. Travers, the creator of Mary Poppins, and Walt Disney during the making of the 1964 film.

Apr 6, 2020Ghost Story
Lenny Abrahamson, who made the amazing Room, adapts a ghost story from Sarah Waters, an author who usually specialises in literary Victorian lesbian bodice rippers. The ghost story is an overmined genre of late but this is a not uninteresting venture into the field.
