Romy Schneider in Georges-Henri Cluzot's Inferno

The striking posters for ‘Georges Henri-Clouzot’s Inferno’ doubtless left many Londoners pondering the identity of the beautiful woman with silvery skin tones. In Paris or Berlin, however, such uncertainty would never have been an issue: Romy Schneider passed away in 1982 at just 43 years of age, but she remains a screen legend right across Europe. That she’s topped public polls for the greatest actress of all time in both France and Germany attests to the continuing affection in which she’s held, and while her two César awards indicate the quality of her work, her turbulent and ultimately rather sad life story has often captured the headlines instead.

Yes, the end of the 21st Century's inaugural decade is fast approaching: is the future everything you hoped it would be?

DAVE CALHOUN
/FILM EDITOR

Dave is the Film Editor of Time Out London. He edits all the magazine and website's film content, writes film reviews and has interviewed the likes of Harold Pinter, Mike Leigh, Dustin Hoffman and Michael Caine for Time Out. A regular on the film festival circuit, he's also equally at home at the Curzon Soho or BFI Southbank. Previously Dave was Deputy Editor of Dazed & Confused magazine and has written on cinema for publications including The Times, The Observer, The Guardian and Sight & Sound.

DAVID JENKINS
/FILM CRITIC

David joined the Time Out Film team in 2007 after two years working for indie movie mag, Little White Lies, and doing various bits and bobs of (mostly film-based) freelancing. He gets unreasonably excited when a new DVD from SecondRun or Masters of Cinema arrives in the office.

TOM HUDDLESTON
/FILM CRITIC

In 2008, an irate Time Out talkbacker asked: 'Can someone, anyone, put a stop to Tom Huddleston'? It's a fair question, but despite repeated and increasingly strenuous attempts, the answer seems to be no. Tom has been working at Time Out since Easter of last year, having written about film for plucky American website Not Coming to a Theater Near You and local underground mavens Electric Sheep.
