Talk To Me

You could accuse director Mark Craig of being on egotistical overdrive, but that would be unfair. He has created a fascinating autobiographical montage of his life, based on old photographs and Answerphone messages, covering 20 years, during which time he changes from a long haired likely lad, playing in bands, with girlfriends on tap, to a serious, greying, married man, with the responsibilities of the world on his shoulders.

The one voice you don't hear is his. Mainly it's women and you never really know who is in and who is out, although certain voices recur. You get to know his family and grow to like them, especially his father, who dies.

Although the messages have been censored for taste, they are still fun to listen to. As a cinematic idea, this may be limited, but it remains original and genuinely moving.
