Armchair Cinema

Online film streaming services have become an influential means of receiving and enjoying film and have created an important platform for new film and for film composers. This week Matthew Sweet looks at some of the current list of films available from a variety of streaming services, focusing in particular on new film, for which streaming has become a major means of distribution whilst cinemas themselves are closed. Films and scores featured in the programme include ‘The Trolls World Tour’, ‘Proxima’, ‘No Time To Die’, Lord of the Rings, ‘The Rise of Skywalker’, ‘The Hunt’, ‘Ran’, ‘The Fall’, ‘Tumbbad’, ‘Celle que vous croyez’ and the ‘The Willoughbys’. The Classic Score of the Week is ‘La Strada’ marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of Fellini.
