An award-winning French tale about a teenage girl and her deaf parents is frothy but moving
Last December, Rebecca Atkinson wrote in the Guardian of a boycott of La Famille Bélier in protest at its casting of “hearing actors to play the roles of deaf characters, the result of which is an embarrassing and crass interpretation of deaf culture and sign language”. In the wake of Miroslav Slaboshpitsky’s grim but authentic The Tribe, such a response is understandable, although Eric Lartigau’s frothy comedy about the teenage daughter of deaf parents finding her singing voice has proved a feelgood hit in France, with Louane Emera picking up a César for most promising actress. As Paula, Emera is indeed a winning presence, and it would take a hard heart not to be moved by her rendition of Michel Sardou’s Je Vole, or to appreciate Lartigau’s attempts to convey...

Flim The Movie is a very clever, very funny mockumentary. It was a surprise hit at Raindance Film Festival 2014 and despite a low budget and miniscule marketing spend found itself nominated for a British Independent Film Award alongside big hitters like Calvary and The Imitation Game. The story centres around a hapless, wannabe Bollywood director called Ravi (played by Raffaello Degruttola). He claims to have made at least one short film back in India and has come to the UK to make his first feature film. Capturing this is the Nick Broomfield-cum-Louis Theroux documentarian Scott (played by Steven Waddington).
As well as star in it, Degruttola produced and directed it.

Rebecca Atkinson dislocated her shoulder filming sex scenes for 'Shameless'. The 29-year-old actress returns to the Channel 4 comedy-drama as barmaid Karen McGuire for its 11th and final series tomorrow (26.02.13), and looking back to when it started in 2004, she is shocked by some of her early storylines.

Rebecca Atkinson's grandmother is ''mortified'' by the actress' raunchy scenes on 'Shameless'. The 29-year-old star plays feisty Karen Jackson in the Channel 4 comedy - which tells the story of life on a fictional Manchester estate - and after spending the majority of the last nine series scantily-clad, the brunette beauty is now ''too old'' to be taking her clothes off onscreen, much to her relative's relief. She said: ''My nanna's just mortified about the whole thing. She doesn't know why I can't go into 'Downton Abbey' instead. ''At least now Karen's matured so it's other people's turn to get their clothes...

Rebecca Atkinson has revealed that the finale of Shameless was rewritten at the last minute. In the episode, which aired earlier this week, Joe (Ben Batt) attempted to strangle Atkinson's character Karen. However, Atkinson told Pa that the scenes were only added because heavy snow prevented the cast from filming the original script. "The original storyline option was something far more way out, to do with a level crossing and a car, and it was really dramatic," she explained. "But (more)...
