THE LOST CITY OF MELBOURNE – ★★★★

Very enjoyable documentary that wasn’t quite sure if it was about the history of Melbourne and it’s buildings, or a history of Melbourne’s cinemas. Luckily it didn’t matter to me as I found both interesting. While it talks of the disappointment of losing significant buildings over time, it’s also worth recognising how lucky this city is to still have as much as it does. Despite it not being covered in this film, I am still bitter that Lonsdale House was allowed to be demolished for a wider laneway to serve The Emporium though. 

THE PASSENGERS OF THE NIGHT – ★★★☆

Nice French film starring Charlotte Gainsbourg about a single mother who in need of money takes a job at a nightshift radio program. Another slice of life film from France and definitely worth a watch.
