I really like Danny Boyle's no budget DV feature Strumpet. Not everyone's cup of tea, but to me seems to a trial run for Slumdog Millionaire (a modern urban fairytale, hand-held DV cameras, warmth to the bleak environments, homeless girls and a frantic chase to a TV studio for the finale)
Plus also he's clearly having some fun with the freedom of a no budget and easy to use DV cameras (clearly serving as a trial run for 28 Days Later) after the more Hollywood production of The Beach.
And Chris Ecceleston is excellent in it!
Just wondering what people think?
