Yesterday we took a look at some of the Brit movies that were going to be on show when the 55th BFI London Film Festival gets underway next week.
Today we are going to take a sneak peak at the best of the rest - and boy is it a great line up this year!!!
- 360
Fernando Meirelles is set to festival with his new movie 360 which boasts an all star cast including Anthony Hopkins, Jude Law and Rachel Weisz, this being her second movie of the festival.
360 is a modern and stylish kaleidoscope of interconnected love and relationships linking characters from different cities and countries in a vivid, suspenseful and deeply moving tale of romantic life in the 21st century.
Starting in Vienna, the film beautifully weaves through Paris, London, Bratislava, Rio, Denver and Phoenix into a single, mesmerising narrative.
From a simple decision made by one man - to remain faithful to his wife - springs a series of consequences.
- The Ides of March
No film festival would be complete without the lovely George Clooney and he is back in the director's chair for the first time since Leatherheads.
As well as directing he has penned the screenplay as well as stars in the movie - alongside Ryan Gosling, Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
During the frantic last days before a heavily contested Ohio presidential primary, an up-and-coming campaign press secretary finds himself involved in a political scandal that threatens to upend his candidate's shot at the presidency.
- The Descendants
And as if one Clooney movie wasn't enough the BFI London Film Festival will have two on show as he stars in The Descendants.
The Oscar winner is just on the cast list this time around in a movie, much like The Ides of March, is already surrounded in Oscar whispers.
Matt King (Clooney) is an indifferent husband and father of two girls, who is forced to re-examine his past and embrace his future when his wife suffers a boating accident off of Waikiki.
The event leads to a rapprochement with his young daughters while Matt wrestles with a decision to sell the family’s land handed down from Hawaiian royalty and missionaries.
- A Dangerous Method
It's been a while since we have seen David Cronenberg in the director's chair - 2007's Eastern Promises was his last movie if you want to know - but he is set to return with A Dangerous Method.
The movie sees him reunite with Viggo Mortensen as well as working with the uber popular Michael Fassbender (in his second movie of the festival) and Keira Knightley.
The movie is an adaptation of Christopher Hampton's play detailing the deteriorating relationship between Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung as they contend with a particularly troubled patient.
- Carnage
Roman Polanski's latest directorial effort was met well by the critics when it premiered at the Venice Film Festival a few weeks ago.
And, let's be honest, a movie that has Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz and Jodie Foster on the cast list has to be pretty good right?
The movie follows two sets of parents who decide to have a cordial meeting after their sons are involved in a schoolyard brawl.
- Take Shelter
Jessica Chastain has been one of the actresses of 2011 with a series of high quality performances and she is set to return in Jeff Nichols' movie Take Shelter with Michael Shannon.
Plagued by a series of apocalyptic visions, a young husband and father questions whether to shelter his family from a coming storm, or from himself.
The 55th BFI London Film Festival runs 12 - 27 October
