Last night I saw The Proposition is a dirty, gritty, film about lawless bandits in the Australian Outback. Remarkably it is one of four (possibly five) films showing at the Dublin International Film Festival featuring John Hurt. Strong hints were dropped about penultimate Surprise Film of the festival being V for Vendetta which also stars John Hurt.

Roughly one hundred Euro spent on tickets and even more on partying afterwards, it has been a very long week but immense fun. I've enjoyed many films, and rather than diminishing my enthusiasm I want to watch more! I thoroughly recommend Syriana, The Proposition and Mirror Mask.
Now I'm off to see that Surprise Film.

P.S. Thanks to Eclipse film distributors for the free ticket earlier in the week and letting me keep one of the posters from the Propostion.
