The truly exceptional Secret Cinema continues to blow minds with its latest offering. After directing us through a Bedouin desert, a WW1 registration hall and an underground Souk, we were finally led into screening hall to sample the main attraction of the evening; Lawrence Of Arabia.

Here at Best For Film, we’re dedicated to making your brain shinier. Sure, movies are fun, Leonardo DiCaprio is smouldering and Katherine Heigl MUST STOP, but pssht, these are things everyone knows! Where’s the pretentious joy to be had in that? In our Cheat Sheet series, we’ll be introducing you to fantastic films, people and genres you wouldn’t necessarily hear about on other, less winsome film sites. Why? Partially because we feel it’s important we celebrate the lesser-known, weird and brilliant films that our wide and bumpy world has to offer. And partially because chicks dig you if you talk all clever. First up? Korean director Hong Sangsoo.
