Coming straight after Deconstructing Harry, Celebrity is another harsh, angry film. Shot in stark black and white and with a biting, sour message, it is at times hard to swallow.

We came across another interesting supercut – fan made videos featuring many films – this week. It’s a supercut of varous insults and cursing from great films – 400 films in 5 minutes!
