Independent on Sunday, The,  Aug 5, 2007  

I For India (NC, 95 mins)

When Sandhya Suri's parents moved to England in 1965, they kept in touch with their relatives back in India via home movies. Now Suri has compiled snippets of their correspondence into a rich, intimate account of immigrant life in the UK, with more laughs, tears and twists than most fictional films.

Tales From Earthsea (PG, 115 mins)

Loosely based on Ursula K Le Guin's novels, 'Tales From Earthsea' is a Japanese cartoon which crosses Tolkien and 'Star Wars', with a young prince and a wise wizard battling the forces of evil. The scenery is impressive, but for a fantasy adventure it has a bewildering number of scenes of the hero ploughing and planting seedlings on a farm. Maybe it crosses Tolkien, 'Star Wars' and 'The Archers'.

Brief Encounter (PG, 86 mins)

Noel Coward and David Lean's flawless film shows how the most volcanic love affairs can erupt in the most ordinary settings - although the plush tea rooms and railway carriages seem much less ordinary than they must have done in 1945. It stands alongside 'Casablanca' as one of the few celluloid romances to exalt restraint and self-sacrifice.

Gandhi My Father (NC, 140 mins)

Fascinating but repetitive biopic of Gandhi's oldest son, Harilal, who was an alcoholic, destitute swindler while his father was being revered as a living saint.

Wind Chill (15, 91 mins)

Emily Blunt and a friend are beset by ghosts.

Happily N'ever after (U, 75 mins)

Sub-'Shrek' fairy-tales-with-attitude cartoon.
