Description

A double bill of acclaimed, high-brow thrillers this week, as Neal, Catherine and Ben sit down with the late-90s Scandi-noir Insomnia, starring Stellan Skarsgard in a very dark role - prior to finding international fame in Good Will Hunting and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Then they mull over the slightly expanded remake from Christopher Nolan - his next film after Memento brought him to worldwide attention - starring Al Pacino, Hillary Swank and Robin Williams.



The original is very highly regarded by critics and the remake is arguably the forgotten film from its superstar director, so has it got a shot at winning the coveted GBR stamp of Remazing, or is it another lazy but glossy Hollywood Unmake, as so many remakes of foreign films are?
