In pictures: 56th BFI London Film Festival day 7
Highlights on Twitter
Impossible not to compare Cronenberg fils’ Antiviral with pere’s early work. Body horror, vomiting and caustic view of celebrity #LFF

#centralparkfive @bfi #lff the epic failure of the entire new york city justice system, and society as a whole. A truly astonishing story!

Saw TEDDY BEAR at #lff. Quiet Danish film about a body builder struggling for independence from his Mum. Nice story but very slow paced.

Looking forward to Hyde Park on Hudson at #LFF tonight. BILL F’N MURRAY!! but a bit gutted that ill miss the rescheduled BUG

The Sapphires: punchy script, strong chars, natural performances; ‘bigger’ film than expected; nice tribute to ‘real’ Sapphires at end #LFF

Went to see ‘The Central Park Five’ screening @bfi #LFF last night, it was great. Very well told story of a terrible miscarriage of justice.

Enjoyed Central Park Five last night at the #LFF. Bit long, but Ken Burns really is the master of crafting documentary from sparse assets.

#lff Beasts of the Southern Wild is sensitive, imaginative - does what Where the Wild Things Are didn’t. Beautiful soundtrack, too. Klip=no

THE WALL is showing at #LFF today. An intimate exploration of what it is to be human with some Ansel Adams inspired views.
— Katherine McLaughlin (@Coconutboots) October 16, 2012
Francois Ozon is on top form with In The House, a fictional set of Russian dolls, with Fabrice Luchini juggling literature and reality. #LFF

#LFF pt3 #Simon Killer. Terrifyingly exaggerated investigation of young male psyche A+ production/performance, great club scene. Recommended

I just LOVE the @bfi #LFF. Just seen my 6th film - My Brother The Devil (@mbtdfilm). All v diff. All just great. Need 2 blog it all up.

Who saw Amour last weekend at #LFF? Could have been a micro budget feature… (all be it from a master director, shot by Darius Khondji)

Just seen new Michael Winterbottom film #Everyday at #lff. Struck me as honest, powerful filmmaking. Top acting from @john_simm and all.
— Robert Hull (@Rob_Hull) October 16, 2012
EVERYDAY: intentionally ordinary, as the title demands. Henderson remains superb value, but Nyman’s music overdoes the poetic reach. #LFF
— David (@randomfurlong) October 16, 2012
Just saw #Imagine @bfi #LFF What an inventive, thrilling and charming film. And what a soundscape!
— Tamarin McGinley (@tamarinmcginley) October 16, 2012
After Lucia is unbearable if occasionally implausible. The cake scene is 2012’s most scarring moment. #LFF
— Chris Haydon (@Haydonsmovies) October 16, 2012
Another thought provoking film tonight @bfi’s #LFF. The Sessions with Holly Hunt & John Hawkes. Already hearing Oscar predictions for Hawkes
— Liza Patoux (@LizaPat) October 16, 2012
‘In the House’ by François Ozon is a witty mind-game of a gifted schoolboy whose eyes are full of lust without caution #LFF
— Alexander Smotrov (@aleksmot) October 16, 2012
#IntheHouse is wonderful and feels like Ozon’s most fun film since 8 Women. #lff
— Elisa Armstrong (@ElisaArmstrong) October 16, 2012
Enjoyed Hyde Park on Hudson, it doesn’t break new ground but has solid foundations. Bill Murray’s intro was amusing. @bfi #lff
— Robert Cooper (@JetPackBobby) October 16, 2012
Finished review of After Lucia, one of the best of this year’s #LFF fest. It has numbed and affected me quite a lot.
— Ed Frost (@Frost_Ed) October 16, 2012
Still, THE SESSIONS is perfectly pleasant. The scenes between Hawkes and Macy are particularly good. #LFF
— Craig Williams (@craigfilm) October 16, 2012
John Dies At The End has my favourite opening scene for a long time. The rest didn’t quite live up to it but still entertaining stuff. #LFF
— Paul Reeve (@reev0) October 16, 2012
Ok, Fill The Void is suffocatingly intimate, intense but somehow gentle and above all human. It transcends religion. It is humbling #lff
— Hannah Rothman (@handler76) October 16, 2012
Just saw The Sessions at the #LFF and wow, it was bloody brilliant! So funny, yet incredibly heartwarming and sweet. A must see for sure.
