Let the Right One In - An excellent Swedish film in which a bullied 12 year-old boy befriends a young girl who lives in his block of flats, and discovers a long-held secret.

It's a beautifully shot, well-written and brilliantly acted piece of cinema, and is in turns subtle, shocking but never anything less superb. It's an antidote to the dross of Hollywood and proves there are intelligent, thoughtful and inventive film-makers still working in the world today.

Incidentally, it appears a Hollywood studio is remaking the film (the original having subtitles makes it difficult for some apparently) but please please don't wait for it as it will not better the original film. In fact, if it comes from Hollywood chances are it'll be a bag of shite remake that ditches subtly and storytelling for the usual crap they churn out of LA these days.
