Shani Grewal wrote, directed, and edited this low-budget British romantic comedy that asks the question: What's it all about, Sanjay? Struggling artist Sanjay (Nitin Chandra Ganatra) is avoiding marriage, so his black girlfriend Jill (Ernestina Quarcoo) flies off to L.A. for a week. After Sanjay has sex with his ex-girlfriend Nora (Lea Rochelle) and next beds a body-paint model, his pals propose a bet in which Sanjay will qualify as a "guru" if he can score with five more women for a grand total of seven. A la Alfie (1966), Sanjay speaks directly to the camera as he sets out to win the bet. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

Christopher Morahan directed this nail-biting suspense melodrama that takes a cynical look at the medical profession. Matthew Harris (Paul McGann) is an unhappy intern at a London hospital who envies the staff doctors and their calling. When a physician who resembles Matthew is killed in an auto accident, Matthew decides to assume his identity so that he can attend an interview the dead man had scheduled for a post at a Bristol hospital. Matthew gets the job and is now Dr. Simon Hennessey, working in the hospital emergency room. He is assisted by friendly nurse Christine Taylor (Amanda Donohue), who ends up falling in love with him. But Matthew makes a fatal mistake and a patient dies. At the ensuing inquest, Christine takes the blame for the accident. Matthew, emboldened by the results of the inquest, decides to apply for a better job at a hospital in Salisbury. But an acquaintance from his past appears and Matthew has to kill him in order to continue with his deception. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
