    I've long been a fan of the 1967 documentary The London Nobody Knows in which James Mason visits less salubrious areas of London before they were redeveloped. As far as I'm aware, the film didn't have a theatrical poster, so I created one in a 1950s/60s scratchy illustration style.

    A clip from a little seen film called THE LONDON NOBODY KNOWS (1967) If you’re a JAMES MASON fan & history fascinates you’ll love this. Here he visits a decrepit Theatre in Camden about to be demolished.

    A brief clip from a fascinating, little-seen film called THE LONDON NOBODY KNOWS (1967) If you’re a JAMES MASON fan & if the history of London fascinates you, then you’ll love this. Here he visits the decrepit, about to be demolished but formerly beautiful Bedford Theatre in Camden.

    Japanese film scholar Lindsay Nelson is back on the show to discuss Hirokazu Kore-eda’s heartbreaking drama, Nobody Knows. Based on a true story about a family of children abandoned by their single mother, there’s a lot to talk about in this. japanonfilm.com/nobodyknows/

    Managed 3 movies this week. 1. I feel like DWP2 was muddled and could have been more 2. Felt sick through pretty much the whole runtime of Nobody Knows 3. SM:BND Holland’s best SM movie but I think #AI was used in the crowd sequences - not good. #last4watched #letterboxdfriday

    You can find one of my all-time favourite documentaries on The Internet Archive. The London Nobody Knows is a 1967 film; James Mason guiding you on a tour through disappearing London. Brilliant scenes of street markets, buskers, and goldfish in the Holborn gents. archive.org/embed/the-lo...

    Now people have to wonder if the Venom movies, or any of the other movies Sony has made in that universe, are canon or not. Are the Spider-verse movies canon? Nobody knows! Is the next Spider-Man movie featuring Tom Holland going to be canon to the MCU? NOBODY KNOWS!

    If you were wondering where that image of the meths drinker comes from, it's a wonderful film called 'The London Nobody Knows' (1967), narrated by James Mason. It's the sort of thing that might be on the BFI website. Well worth seeking out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESDJ...

    The hardest to watch Hirokazu Kore-eda film since Nobody Knows. It has almost none of his usual warmth and humour, I feel that you can tell he didn't write it, but it is still a delicate and brilliant piece of work.

    I think what rankles me is that sure, Nobody Knows Anything. But Zaslav took a movie that was completed, and said “I know better than everyone, and this thing is going to flop.”

    Just watched the movie Nobody Knows, and this may have been the saddest film I've ever watched so far. As I watched the film, my heart sank deeper and deeper. As the film progresses the anguish and grief you feel gets stronger. Then you finish the film and read the wikipedia about the real life

    A little bit it reminded me of Nobody Knows (Daremo shiranai) Japanese movie. Not a BL. But that one was far bleak and also happier, funnier.

    Let's not forget that this was the year after the Roundhouse appeared in the documentary film The London Nobody Knows, in which it completely failed to appeal to James Mason (1:15). www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Gg0...

    Nobody Knows (2004) is still one of the best Japanese films ever made. The acting, the lighting, the colors, etc. is all so good. There are many reasons why this film still remains very popular here. x.com/i/status/210...
