And in what colours he had painted it! Blue and green and even black. In 1938, the week the Pope died and the Sentinel came out with a black border, he had come across a large tin of yellow paint and painted everything yellow, even the typewriter. That had been acquired when, at the age of thirty-three, he had decided to become rich by writing for American and English magazines; a brief, happy, hopeful period. The typewriter had remained idle and yellow, and its colour had long since ceased to startle. --V.S. Naipaul, A House for Mr Biswas .

1. Pedro Almodovar's The Skin I Live In It's a bad title (reads better in Spanish: La Piel que Habito ) but Almodovar has been on a winning streak for the last decade starting with Habla Con Ella . A string of films: Bad Education , Volver and Broken Embraces have cemented his technical proficiency.

The film resembles something of a personal fetish and a prayer; the tone is one of a hidden secret which the director is seeking to set free amidst a puzzle of plot devices. Unforgettable. Volver was a perfect film; perhaps a little too perfect. Broken Embraces was a stylistic tour de force that lacked something of the edge of the best Almodovar. The subject matter of The Skin I Live In (a plastic surgeon who keeps his wife prisoner) seems like the perfect antidote. 2. Terrance Malick's The Tree of Life I enjoyed Malick's The N
