Anthony Minghella

The neighbours have been making movies; only polite to go see them. The crowd we saw hanging around on Parliament Hill last summer have released their shoestring production Scenes of a Sexual Nature, starring Hampstead Heath. That nice Jewish boy Sacha Baron-Cohen from Hampstead Garden Suburb has made Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Helena Bonham-Carter stars in Sixty Six, and Kate Winslet in Little Children. Worse, Anthony Minghella in our street has made a film about crime in the area: Breaking and Entering. (Remember to lock up before going to the cinema.)
