HUMAN TRAFFIC -------------- If there's one film that actually deserves to be compared to Trainspotting, it's this brash, flashy tale of five friends on a weekend out in Cardiff. Writer/director Justin Kerrigan's sensational debut has provided UK cinema with its next step forward. A romantic counter-culture comedy, it's a hectic rush from the opening, where Jip (The Lakes' John Simm) introduces his mates to the viewer. Jip's sexually insecure, Lulu's a club babe, Moff deals (despite living with his policeman dad), Koop peddles hardcore hip hop and obsesses about his girlfriend, Nina. The five spend their weeks in mundane jobs, waiting for real life to begin on Friday night. Along the way, the characters pull us into the party by directly addressing the camera and haul us into their minds with dazzling daydream sequences. The soundtrack's outstanding and features Fatboy Slim and Orbital.

EAST IS EAST ------------ Comedy erupts on a daily basis in the Khan family's cramped terraced house with its scant indoor plumbing. For George Khan's seven kids - a proud Pakistani who owns the local chippie - life is one long compromise. Tomboy Meenah prefers playing footie to wearing a sari, hippie Saleem pretends to be studying engineering when he's really at art school, heart-throb Tariq has got a reputation as a local Casanova, and Sajid hasn't even been circumcised yet. For George Khan ("Ghengis" to his kids), life is an uphill battle to get his family to conform to traditional Pakistani values. But this is Salford in the 1970s. George's English wife Ella is a Lancashire loudmouth, and his kids have got minds of their own.

Screening at the Rialto Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin.
