Christie Malry's Own Double Entry is an underappreciated slice of metafictional revelry. Based on the novel by BS Johnson - a writer who committed suicide after saying "I shall be much more famous when I'm dead" - the narrative alternates between London at the turn of the millennium and Renaissance Milan. Confused? It's simpler than it sounds: Christie Malry, a lonely and unfulfilled man, learns double entry bookkeeping - debit and credit - and starts taking revenge on a society that refuses to recognise his value. Starring Nick Moran and Kate Ashfield, this film is at once dark, funny, erotic and very, very English.
