As well as today being the last day of term, it's also a chance for us to see one of our favourite films on the big screen. The BFI Southbank is showing A Matter Of Life And Death, by Powell and Pressburger. It's a beautiful and sentimental, but also comic, film about an airman who cheats death and may or may not be hallucinating a heavenly messenger tasked with taking him to the afterlife.
So many of the actors are amazing, but my favourite is Roger Livesey as Dr Reeves, who rides a fast bike and tests David Niven's hallucinations.
Do try and watch this film if you can.
