Weekender was released in 1992, given an 18 certificate and banned by the BBC and ITV. It became a cult film and Danny Boyle said he wouldn’t have made Trainspotting without it. This documentary, which screened at the 2023 Glasgow Film Festival, is comprised of Zoom conversations with the filmmakers and the musicians which it featured, supported by archive footage and material from the film itself. If you have an investment in the original, you’re likely to find it entertaining. If not, it remains an interesting portrait of a community in a particular place and time, with its reliance on formula sometimes resulting in unintentional humour which complements its generally enthusiastic mood.
That mood is tinged with sadness, of course, because of the death of one of the film’s stars, Flowered Up frontman Liam Maher, from an accidental heroin overdose. He wasn’t the only person involved who went that.

In what we hope is our temporary reality and not the new normal, streaming platforms have become a primary source of entertainment (if they weren’t already) while we bunker down in an attempt to stomp out the coronavirus. With sports events postponed or cancelled and movie theaters barricaded shut, audiences are looking for other ways to have communal experiences from the comfort of their homes. There are several platforms that essentially apply the Twitch model to streaming films, TV shows or YouTube videos: Rave, &Chill, and ShareTube. The one gaining steam right now is Netflix Party, a Chrome-only browser extension which we’ll focus on here to show you how these platforms can satisfy your desire to interact with other human beings during this anxious and scary time.

As long as there's drugs, good music, attractive people to hook up with and the opportunity to dance, kids will find a way to party. And as long as they find a way to party, there will be filmmakers looking to capture that vibe, which brings us to "Weekender" from director Karl Golden. While the U.K. film dropped in cinemas overseas two years ago, it's now getting a bit of fresh life coming stateside, arriving under the wing of none other than Kevin Smith who is presenting the picture. Starring Jack O’Connell (who you'll next see in "300: Rise of an Empire"), Emily Barclay, Sam Hazeldine and Henry Lloyd-Hughes ("The Inbetweeners"), the film follows best friends Matt and Dylan, who are in their early 20s and eager to break into the thriving Manchester music scene of the 1990s.

Henry Lloyd-Hughes is set to star alongside Mia Wasikowska in a new film adaptation of the Gustave Flaubert novel Madame Bovary.
28 year old Henry (represented in the UK by Curtis Brown) will play Charles Bovary, the provincial doctor husband of Emma (Mia Wasikowska) who endeavors to love her despite her revolt against the ordinariness of her life.
He's best known to TV audiences as Mark Donovan from The Inbetweeners, and played Kenneth Hume opposite Ruth Negga in the Shirley Bassey biopic, but after starring in British indies Weekender and period time-travel drama Dimensions, this is his first major leading international film role.
This new adaptation of the classic novel by Rose Barreneche is described as a period piece that will remain faithful to Gustave Flaubert’s original story, but will be "a fresh retelling, emphasizing the more youthful and contemporary themes."
Madame Bovary will also star Paul Giamatti, Rhys Ifans and Ezra Miller.

The 25-year-old rapper-turned-actor and star of the film Weekender
Who's this handsome devil then? David Miliband, Shirley Bassey's husband, and the bully from The Inbetweeners. It's Henry Lloyd-Hughes, rapper turned excellent actor.
Rapper? I know, so clean cut, so James Dean-esque, but he has a damn fine singing voice and he also plays the drums, hence the guns.
Phwoar. Stop it. You've seen him in Miliband of Brothers and the BBC's Bassey biopic, but look forward to seeing a whole lot more of him in the future – the "period sci-fi drama" Dimensions, co-starring Camilla Rutherford and Patrick Godfrey; Roland Emmerich's Anonymous, on the life of Shakespeare; and Anna Karenina, opposite Jude Law and Keira Knightley. Our favourite role so far is as a 90s raver in the film Weekender.
He says: "I wish I looked a bit more like Bruce Springsteen – I'd love to play him in a biopic of his life.

★★★☆☆ Weekender (2011) - the latest film from director Karl Golden and starring Zawe Ashton, Jack O'Connell and Henry Lloyd-Hughes - takes us back to the manic highs and crashing lows of the 1990s rave scene. The film follows two happy-go-lucky crooks, Matt (Lloyd-Hughes) and Dylan (O’Connel), who we see attempting to steal a cigarette machine at the beginning of the film.

Kill List (18)
(Ben Wheatley, 2011, UK) Neil Maskell, MyAnna Buring, Michael Smiley, Emma Fryer. 95 mins
Who knew there was a missing link between Mike Leigh, Andy McNab and The Wicker Man? That's how unpredictable this macabre and outlandish tale is, but it unfolds in a credible modern-day Britain scarred by foreign wars and domestic recession. Circumstances lead a blokey hitman and his partner to accept a dodgy new assignment – and by the time they start asking questions, it's too late.
Attenberg (18)
(Athina Rachel Tsangari, 2010, Gre) Ariane Labed, Vangelis Mourikis, Evangelina Randou. 97 mins
Fans of Dogtooth will be ready for another prime dose of Greek oddness. Beneath the animal impersonations, silly walks and bad sex lies an intelligent, intimate study of human behaviour.
Fright Night (15)
(Craig Gillespie, 2011, Us) Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, David Tennant. 106 mins
A teen vampire horror remake that benefits from superior effects, a shrewd Las Vegas setting, and some lively comedy.

Science fiction and period costume drama rarely mix, which is strange because I think the latter can add a sumptuous new layer that we rarely see in scifi. We saw it with The Prestige and on some level I think we see it in Andrew Niccol's films like Gattaca.
A new scifi film from the UK called Dimensions is blending the two genres in a unique story that seems to involve time travel. The film's husband and wife directing duo, Ant Neely & Sloane U.Ren, describe the film as "a cross between H.G. Wells. Time Machine and A Beautiful Mind".
Synopsis:
Stephen is a brilliant young boy who lives in Cambridge, England, in what appears to be the 1920s . but nothing in Stephen.s life is quite as it seems. His world is turned upside down upon meeting a charismatic and inspirational professor at a garden party who demonstrates...

Check out the beautiful trailer below for Dimensions, the first feature film from husband and wife writer/director team Ant Neely and Sloane U’Ren who sold their house to finance the period/sci fi drama.
Taking the lead role of Stephen is The Inbetweeners actor Henry Lloyd-Hughes (represented by Curtis Brown), who can also be seen this year in Weekender.
The film also stars Camilla Rutherford, Patrick Godfrey, Olivia Llewellyn and Sean Hart.
The film also introduces three new child actors from Cambridgeshire: Sam Harrison as the young Stephen Hannah Carson as Victoria and George Thomas as the young Conrad. Ant Neely said of their casting process:
"As for the children - they are all relative new comers (ranging from no experience to a bit of theatre and a short film). We did see about 75 kids, but these three had something very special and very natural. Of course, child...

This is a reprint of a review first published at BlogCritics.org. Weekender is one of those films which will play a lot better to fans of the particular subject matter, in this case it's the rave music scene of the late '80s and early '90s. At the centre of this trip through that particular world is a fairly decent crime story about two friends who get in way over their heads with some dangerous people, but overall it is hampered with a frantic tone which evokes that type of music it's about and the lifestyle often associated with it. We specifically follow two friends, Dylan (Jack O'Connell) and Matt (Henry Lloyd-Hughes), who decide to throw an illegal rave party. When it becomes an instant hit and...

Best mates Matt (Henry Lloyd-Hughes, The Inbetweeners) and Dylan (Jack O’Connell, Skins) are looking for alternative working arrangements.
Tired of stealing cigarette machines from naked and overweight pub landlords, the duo instead decide to throw a massive party and stake a claim to the thriving rave scene of 90′s Manchester. Earning a small fortune on their first night, and quickly learning as they go along, Matt and Dylan endeavour to turn their love for a good party into a lucrative business venture, enlisting the help of their friends and local pirate DJ Captain Acid (Tom Meeten) to make it happen. When their success attracts the attention of local kingpin John the Rat, however, their friendship begins to unravel as competing priorities are forced to the surface.

A new 35mm print of Kon Ichikawa's The Makioka Sisters opens today at New York's Film Forum, playing through May 12. Nick Pinkerton in the Voice: "The setting is the wartime precipice of 1938; the synthesizer score is distinctly 1983. When he finally succeeded in filming Junichiro Tanizaki's novel, Kon Ichikawa was 68 years old — a living link to Japan's cinematic Golden Age, taking on a self-consciously throwback prestige production. The Makioka Sisters details the interlocked emotional lives of four Osakan siblings, orphaned young and left as caretakers of the once-prestigious Makioka name. Observing each woman meeting this duty, The Makioka Sisters is a Whartonian work of compassionate nostalgia tinctured with irony."
"Make no mistake," adds David Fear in Time Out New York, "The Makioka Sisters is a melodrama, complete with public scandals, petulant ingenues, interclan power struggles, unrequited love and consummated love affairs. But Ichikawa plays everything cool without seeming cold,...

Organisers said the aim was to continue showcasing the work of British directors while also providing a platform for first-time film-makers.
