I saw A Town Called Panic recently at a cinema just off Leicester Square on a rainy Tuesday afternoon - one of the nicest ways to stumble across a gem, I think. It's based on a Belgian TV show called Panique au Village. It was a lovely afternoon, sitting in the dark and laughing out loud, along with the few other people scattered around the cinema. I like the way it looks so homemade (though actually the result of very skilled animation techniques, I suspect), and I like the fact it's barking mad, whilst creating a convincing and satisfying little universe in which to exist.
