Movie Review: I Adore This Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite movies ever, and I watch it as frequently as I am able. It is very disappointing to me that this wonderful film has YET to be released on DVD when such deplorable ones hit the Block Buster store every five minutes. Not only is the story written with brillence, but the cast is impecible, the direction flawless, and the cinematography breathtaking. I love these "odd couples" who find their inner kindness and fearless selves in an era awakening from the horror of the external world war and the internal socially appropriate war each has faced. This film demonstrates the strength to change and grow, make better choices for life, repulsing death, and rediscovery. It is truely a lovely, lovely film, and I WANT IT RELEASED ON DVD to enjoy for my lifetime and share with others I love.Movie Review: Perfect movie for girl's night at home!
Summary: 5 Stars
Fabulous movie to watch when you have some girlfriends over for movie night, no men allowed! A feel good movie that I have already seen on cable several times and was so happy to find that it came out on video so I can watch it whenever I want. Its one of those movies that you can watch again and again, year after year, and never tire of it. I especially love Josie Lawrence who I have never seen in anything else before or since, and of course Miranda Richardson and Joan Plowright are wonderful. Even the menfolk characters are well-written and performed and there is no man-bashing so common in "girls" movies. Heck, even the husbands may want to watch this one. The shots of the women sans makeup with their hair down makes them look almost ethereal in their beauty but not unattainable.Movie Review: PERFECT (POLLY WALKER)
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this specifically to take a second look at Polly Walker's performance (who I'd recently seen "carry" an entire Poirot episode called "Peril at End House"). Despite 3 other "A" list British actresses this movie just wouldn't have worked had not the beautiful socialite (totally exhausted by admirers) been played by an actress with an appropriate 20's style drop-dead beauty. Added to which Polly Walker hit all right notes with her upper-class mannerisms - and impeccably polite (I'm so beautiful) languor. So in this very entertaining fast paced movie with constantly surprising plot twists I recommend buying this 1993 movie (at very reasonable 2010 prices) especially to see Polly Walker's "still point at the turning world" (Eliot) contribution to a perfectly realized British confection.Movie Review: Lowers blood pressure painlessly
Summary: 5 Stars
We continue to await the DVD (in America) release of this instantly relaxing film. It quickly becomes a "comfort movie" like "White Christmas" and "Meet Me in St. Louis." Tougher than usual day? Get thee to Italy for a month(really just a couple of hours) with these beautifully painted characters.
Fine performances, cinematography and music become a tone poem of sensuality, warmth, hope, love and exquisite beauty.
Do we have to move to Sweden or Australia to own this gem on DVD; or must we buy yet another piece of machinery to decode the foreign recording? Why hasn't it become a DVD in this country? Don't we all long for some relief from our daily stresses? Couldn't we benefit from a few hours of beauty and humor? Get going, America!
Movie Review: Still waiting for this on DVD:
Summary: 5 Stars
Thank goodness I purchased this on laser disc and can still watch it. And, watch it I do about 3 to 4 times a year just because it makes me feel really good. It is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time! (I'm 65 so that covers a lot of movies! Great cast, great acting the perfect balance of visuals is achieved in gorgeous Italy. Somehow you almost feel the sun and smell the flowers. At least you'll want to call your travel agent after first viewing this marvelous movie. Buy it on VHS if that's all you can because it isn't out on DVD in US yet and may never be. A shame! Such junk can get exposure on DVD and a lovely film like this with some of the best actors in England can't. Buy it! Everyone I've shown it to just loves it!
