After a long dry spell, there are three Films of the Week this time: Sunset Song, Love & Friendship and The Lobster.
I’m running way behind schedule today. Before we dive into the stats, here’s a quick note about Kill Zone 2 (which you really ought to see. It’s fabulous). IMDB lists Cantonese, English, Thai and Mandarin as the languages spoken in the movie. They missed Korean, several lines of which are delivered by the henchmen in the last 30 minutes.
