Girls of the Sun

The Legend of the Stardust Brothers
THE LEGEND OF THE STARDUST BROTHERS ticks all the boxes. Serena Scateni reviews at Glasgow Film Festival.

SONG OF THE TREE moves along at an engaging pace, with some earworms in the soundtrack, and a real cinematic sensibility to the dramatic segments. Jim Ross reviews at Glasgow Film Festival.
Angel (Un Ange)
Following the last 24 hours in the life of shamed Tour de France competitor Thierry and Fae, the prostitute he falls in love with, ANGEL is a stylistic exploration of intense experience. Francesca Woulfe reviews at Glasgow Film Festival.
