The Surprise Film ended about 45 minutes ago and my heart is still in my throat and my insides have yet to untangle themselves.
The Surprise Film was tense and unflinching. From the opening booming sounds over the brief credits to the final moments before the screen faded to black it never let up.
The Surprise Film was about people: innocent people, caring people, uncompromising people, soulless people and bloody scary people.
The Surprise Film had a violent, string-laden score with period touches that were perfect.
The Surprise Film did not let me recover; any moments of humour (and there weren't many) were immediately followed by a shocking orchestral chord or act of violence.
The Surprise Film left me shaken.
The Surprise Film was Brighton Rock.
You should send Sandra this blog and ask for a job next year :)
