2016 looks like being a bumper year in the arts. I am particularly looking forward to the following films, TV programmes and books.
In the cinema:
A Bigger Splash - I have fallen in love with the trailer for this. Tilda Swinton looks wonderful (#eyelinergoals) and I am recently developing a full-on crush on Ralph Fiennes.
High Rise - an adaptation of one of my favourite books by J G Ballard, directed by Ben Wheatley and starring Tom Hiddleston, this could be a fascinating dark masterpiece. I hope.
Anomalisa - intriguing intriguing intriguing. The reviews of this stop-motion animation by Charlie Kaufman have been fantastic.
Hail, Caesar! - How good is this trailer? Be still, my beating heart. The Coen Brothers, George Clooney, Ralph Fiennes AND Channing Tatum?? Oh Hollywood you spoil me.
On the sofa:
The Night Manager - Tom Hiddleston again, this time in a BBC adaptation of John Le Carré's book.
Fresh Meat - the final series of the student comedy.
Grayson Perry: All Man - Perry has turned out to be a fantastic TV presenter and I'm looking forward to his exploration of masculinity.
Happy Valley and Line of Duty - the two best UK dramas of 2014 return this spring.
On the kindle:
Not Working by Lisa Owens - there is a lot of hype around this debut twenty-something novel.
Eligible by Curtis Sittenfield - a contemporary re-telling of Pride and Prejudice, this sounds wonderful.
This Must Be The Place by Maggie O'Farrell - O'Farrell hasn't put a foot wrong in any of her previous novels as far as I'm concerned so I have high hopes for this.
