Yes the Circle and Kandahar are showing in Theatre Gwynedd, I definitely want to see The Circle but am unsure about Kandahar. Last week I saw Amelie and I didn't like it either, there where a few amusing moments but on the whole it was pretty unbearable. On a message board I read that you didn't like Life is Beautiful either. I wouldn't call Life is Beautiful a good film but I think its a better film than Amelie, Begnini is much more enjoyable to watch and I would call it a good end of the week film but nothing more. In my e-mail to you I gave an over-long resume of my family's connection with cinema, so I&#8217;ll just tell you the basics. My grandfather, Emyr Humphreys, is a novelist and scriptwriter and has worked with such famous actors as Richard Burton when he was doing radio plays for the bbc. One of my uncles, Dewi Humphreys, has directed several sitcoms for the bbc such as the vicar of dibley and my family, he also worked as a cameraman on the boys of brazil and monty python the life of brian among others. The other uncle, Sion Humphreys, has worked with bbc Wales and s4c and has directed several tv/movies for s4c including y gosb and dwy briodas which is an adaptation of John Gwilym Jones' play. I think they are very good and believe they are not very well known.
