On the theme of female directors I have also recently watched Nowhere boy the emotional story of John Lennon's teenage years. Though I'm not sure if entirely accurate, after reading an autobiography written by Lennon's first wife it's hard to imagine some parts of the story, though I do feel Sam Taylor Wood's portal of John as, well, a bit of a twat is probably right on the mark.
You can see that Sam takes her great aesthetic eye as a photographer and really works with it on the mis-en-scene of this film. Above all the soundtrack is fantastic and Anne Marie Duff (Fiona from Shameless) plays a convincing estranged mother to John.
