I saw two very different but very good films yesterday.
Billy Wilder's One, Two Three for the second time, which is still very entertaining but shows some great scenes of post-war Berlin. Filmed just before the Wall went up and the border crossings are quite integral to the plot so it's a real product of its time.
Then 12 Years a Slave, finally, at Peckhamplex which is great. The film was brilliantly shot and acted, I didn't even think Brad Pitt was as miscast as everyone else seemed to think. He does that sort of self-righteous liberal type very well.
