Movie Reviews of Jude
Movie Review: Not your regular romantic movie, but something even more
Summary: 5 Stars
I was stunned, honestly stunned. Its one of the rare films on incestuous relationships and I really, really loved it. The film offers a lot more than just regular stories plucked from the pages of Romantic novels. The purity, the passion, the tension shown between the two characters in the film. A strong chemistry between Kate Winslet and Christopher Eccleston had my eyes glued on the screen, I refused to blink even once while watching, I was so compelled, so overwhelmed by the acting and direction of the film. Its quite an unusual film, but truly a beautiful one, Incestuous relations may not be liked by everyone, but the film is quite an experience, quite a journey. Don't overlook this gem!
Summary of Jude
British filmmaker Michael Winterbottom didn't make a particularly good film until Welcome to Sarajevo, and this curiously dry adaptation of Thomas Hardy's last novel is a good example. Christopher Eccleston plays Jude Fawley, a self-educated stonemason who dreams of attending university but identifies with the working class. Kate Winslet is his cousin Sue Bridehead, a young woman with suffragette leanings and a position as a teacher's assistant. When the two enter into an illicit union, they are condemned to the margins of society, ultimately resulting in a horrifying tragedy. Winterbottom takes an oddly lean approach to Hardy's deterministic story, which leaves a viewer feeling short on emotion just when one needs it for the from-bad-to-worse third act. Welcome to Sarajevo proved that Winterbottom needs a whole other level of personal involvement to make a film that inspires him. Jude isn't one of those lucky films. --Tom KeoghArt House & International DVD Video
