Patrick Gamble

Patrick Gamble currently writes film reviews and features for Flick Feast, HeyUGuys, Cinevue, Lost in the Multiplex, Law & More and Subtitled Online. What little spare time he has is spent hiding in the front row of his local cinema, furthering that initial childhood excitement he encountered watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit, an emotional experience which has now flourished into a full blown cinematic obsession. Patrick's an unashamed Francophile whose unflinching adoration for the works of Godard, Truffaut and Demy is based purely on artistic merit and not some superficial attempt to seem more attractive to the opposite sex (it never worked).

Midnight in Paris (2011)
