May 7th   
The Theory of Flight**       
GB 1998. Distant Horizon/BBC Films. 101m.                             

An amateur aviator and a sufferer from Motor Neurome disease befriend each other on a journey of self-discovery.
Refreshingly modern slant on potentially old-hat tearjerking material, which only veers into sentiment at the climax (emulating the Wright brothers.) Most of the talents concerned are in commendable but not outstanding form.

Written by: Richard Hawkins.
Producers: Helena Spring, Ruth Caleb.
Director: Paul Greengrass.
Starring: Kenneth Branagh, Helena Bonham Carter, Gemma Jones, Holly Aird, Ray Stevenson.
Photography: Ivan Strasburg.
Music: Rolfe Kent.
