Chris Morris, the satirical genius behind Brass Eye takes on religious extremism with this hilarious comedy of terrors that provoked more than a little controversy. This is daring film making that brilliantly lampoons fanaticism. Our cell of wannabe jihadists are not slick, trained assassins but a group of bumbling, bickering fools from Yorkshire whose road to martyrdom is not as easy as they imagined. The laughs come thick and fast as the group attempt to run while wearing explosives, train crows to fly bombs, and practice their "anti-surveillance measure" of furiously shaking their heads to avoid detection on CCTV. A superb riotous comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously.

The director of The Beat My Heart Skipped delivers his best film to date, tender, lyrical and angry in equal measure. Nineteen year old Muslim El Djebana is sent to prison for drunkenly assaulting a policeman.

Much of the film is about how he establishes his own identity and carves out a niche for himself within the prison landscape. A whisker away from winning the 2009 Palme d’Or.
