Val Guest’s cinema quest for his own semi-docu style pays off in this fine, intelligent police investigation into a gruesome dismemberment murder. U.K. favorite Jack Warner is the main detective, Guest’s actress wife Yolande Donlan is a ‘person of interest,’ and the illusion of reality is enhanced by real locations in Greenwich, Brighton, Lewes and points between. It’s an excellent legwork murder mystery, with good atmosphere and colorful characterizations — within the dry ‘serious business’ format, of course.

‘The Eulogy.’
Janine Hosking’s feature documentary The Eulogy, which follows conductor and music educator Richard Gill as he unravels the truths and myths behind the life and career of concert pianist and composer Geoffrey Tozer, opened in 15 cinemas last weekend.
While the 4-day total was a modest $34,000 including previews and festival screenings, the producers and distributor Madman Entertainment are hoping the film will have a decent run thanks to Paul Keating, strong word of mouth and an Aacta nomination for Best Documentary.

As a 14-year-old prodigy, Tozer was the youngest ever semi-finalist at the Leeds Piano Competition. As an adult he continued to perform in Australia and internationally but for a career that promised and delivered much, his end was shocking. He died in...
