ART

Saatchi Gallery 100, The (2003)
Director:
Starring:
Duration:	50 minutes	Country:	England.
Mini Review:	In the early 1990s, Charles Saatchi began to collect a range of works that would change the face of British art. Damien Hirst's giant shark in formaldehyde, Tracey Emin's unmade bed and a chilling portrait of Myra Hindley by Marcus Harvey are among the artworks that have since become icons of the decade. The Saatchi Gallery in London is a permanent home for a changing selection of Saatchi's world-famous collection. This fast-paced and fascinating film, featuring one hundred of these artworks, is accompanied by reflections and anecdotes from the artists themselves. Sarah Lucas's confrontational self-portraits are among the highlights, as are the bold paintings of Gary Hume, photographs by Richard Billingham, sculptures of genetically mutated children by Jake and Dinos Chapman, and many more.

Great enthralling gut wrenching cook's nightmare social commentary

Jamie's School Dinners (2005)
Director:
Starring:	Jamie Oliver.
Duration:	230 minutes	Country:	England.
Mini Review:	With a poor diet of fatty processed foods endangering children's health in the very place where they are best placed to be educated about good eating, Jamie Oliver set out to show that things could be done a lot better. In order to create a blueprint for healthier eating, he took charge of school dinners in the London Borough of Greenwich. Passion with a purpose.

A Great One

Gadjo Dilo (1998)
Director:	Tony Gatlif.
Starring:	Romain Duris, Rona Hartner, Izidor Serban.
Duration:	115 minutes	Country:	France, Romania.
Mini Review:	Aka "The Crazy Stranger". This lyrical, poetic slice of cinematic art focuses on a young Frenchman who, while searching for a legendary folk singer, gets involved with a group of Gypsies and falls in love with a peasant woman. Another wonderful work from the director of "Latcho Drom".
