Last Thursday Hugh Robinson introduced the Thursday Flickers public to his slightly eccentric world. Hugh and his friends have weekly meetings whereby they watch each others favourite Western movies. His short, The Mild Bunch, is a light hearted docu which takes a closer look at the origins of their soft spot for the Western genre. The included interviews reveal their very personal bonds with these movies, which sometimes go way back to their younger years. It was interesting to see how Westerns - which for me were at first glance superficial, violent films - can evoke so much emotion and passion in mature men.
