J. P. Donleavy, comic novelist and playwright, is still best known for The Ginger Man, published over 20 years ago. He's written six novels since then, including The Beastly Beatitudes of Balthazar B, The Onion Eaters and, soon to be published, The Destinies of Darcy Dancer, Gentleman. One critic has described them as 4 semirealistic fables in which the same patterns are obsessively re-enacted '.
Filmed in Dublin and on his estate in County Westmeath, he talks about the influence of his native America and adopted Ireland on these fables, and the underlying obsessions.

Seeing Through Drawing
A wide-ranging film about the fascinations and meaning of drawing. Among the contemporary artists seen talking and making drawings are David Hockney , the American Jim Dine and the English caricaturist Ralph Steadman. In a conversation focused around a viewing of sequences throughout the film, and supplemented by quotations from other writers and artists, the art historian Philip Rawson reflects on a wide range of topics, from why we all first draw as children, to what we draw, what has been drawn, and how drawing differs from painting or photography; why drawing has mattered to artists of the past from Leonardo to Van Gogh , and in what ways it continues to matter to artists of this century. There is unique archive film of Matisse and Giacometti and other sequences ranging from children to art students, street artists to amateurs drawing on Hampstead Heath.

starring Jack Lemmon Walter Matthau
' ... For six months I lived alone in this apartment. All alone in eight rooms ... I was dejected, despondent and disgusted ... Then you moved in. My dearest and Closest friend ... And after three weeks of close, personal contact-I am about to have a nervous breakdown! '
That's Oscar Madison talking. Oscar was a carefree, untidy, divorced slob until he took pity on Felix, the house-proud, neurotic hypochondriac just kicked out by his exasperated wife. The result is one of the funniest Hollywood comedies of recent years.
Screenplay by NEIL SIMON based on his own play
