Scrapper
2023 Charlotte Regan UK 84min PG English
The feature debut from 29-year-old Londoner Charlotte Regan, Scrapper brims with sugar-fuelled youthful energy and an itchy, endless scroll of ideas. Taking a cue from Georgie’s co-dependent relationship with her phone, Regan employs jump cuts and a skittish camera (the film is deftly shot by Molly Manning Walker, whose own directorial debut, How to Have Sex, is out later this year). The colour palette – tangerine, mint green and milkshake pink – seems to have been inspired by a packet of Refreshers sweets. Video game speech bubbles pop up on screen from a Greek chorus of onlooking spiders. Not everything works: statements to camera from teachers, neighbours and social workers land heavily. But mostly Regan’s unfiltered approach brings a fizzing unpredictability and vitality to this abrasively empathic exploration of a father-daughter bond. The Guardian
Don't Look Back1967 D.A. Pennebaker USA 96min PG English
Pennebaker is the grandaddy of the documentary – he didn’t buy his camera, he built it,” explains Joseph Baldassare, curator of a new exhibition about Pennebaker’s film Don’t Look Back. It famously chronicled Bob Dylan’s pivotal 1965 tour of England and his transformation from a polite leading light of the marginal folk scene into an incendiary figure in the cultural mainstream.
