V for Vendetta

rewatch

A brilliant film, let down only by Natalie Portman’s nails-on-a-chalk-board accent. She’s fantastic in every other way, but in a film that otherwise exudes Britishness it’s so very painful.

I’ll resist making any comparisons between the villains in this film and any of today’s governments.
