British films night

I compensated for the irritations caused by Shinobi by watching another two films from my treasure vault, yes I have many many more. Picked because of their shorter runtime, both coincidentally share themes about the harsher but very real sides of life, of people we choose not to see sometimes, and are both set in London.

London to Brighton is good. I like British films, and French.

Dirty Pretty Thing is very good, and Chiwetel Ejiofor the black man outstanding as Okwe the Nigerian illegal immigrant. Just realised it's a British film as well, directed by Stephen Frears, the same man behind the more recent The Queen. Thumbs Up.
