Movie Reviews of Talk of Angels
Movie Review: A Beautiful Film
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a lovely, inspiring and ultimately sad film. It is not for the audience that has to have endless discussion and psychobabble about feelings, conflicts, etc. or action, action, action. The story is set in Spain in the 1930's as the Fascists were gaining power and the Spanish Civil War was in the air. Both the hero and the heroine are from a strong Catholic tradition that elevates family and adherence to the church's teachings (however flawed they may be). The two actors involved not only have chemistry, but it is smoldering. However, it is also quiet and restrained, as it would be in that setting and at that time. Many things were happening that involved the family into which the young Irish tutor had come and they were monmentous events, involving the lives and wellbeing of all the members,as well as the fate of the country they love. The father (Franco Nero) and the son(Vincent Perez) were both anti-Fascist and they were in more and more danger as the movie progressed. I found the love story to be moving and the portrayal of the torn feelings of the lovers and other family members to be sensitive and engrossing. It was a terrible time of conflict in Spain and the young tutor had just left her homeland, Ireland, which had recently undergone a similar tragic upheaval. I think this story is about things that mattered greatly at that time and place--conscience, patriotism, devotion and integrity. It was beautifully filmed and acted and had a deeply moving message about the passions, needs, and duties that drive decent people in times of turbulence.
Summary of Talk of Angels
TALK OF ANGELS -- starring Polly Walker (ENCHANTED APRIL, EMMA), Vincent Perez (QUEEN OF THE DAMNED, I DREAMED OF AFRICA), and Academy Award(R)-winner Frances McDormand (FARGO, Best Actress, 1996; ALMOST FAMOUS) -- tells the powerful story of passion and forbidden desire set in a country boiling at the brink of civil war! A beautiful young Irish governess, Mary (Walker), leaves home and travels to Spain to work in the residence of a wealthy family strained by conflicting political allegiances. Swept away by her new surroundings while being threatened by the turmoil of the times, Mary eventually finds a different kind of danger: the inescapable attraction she shares with the fiery, handsome ... and married ... son (Perez) of her employer! In an unforgettable motion picture acclaimed by critics for its vivid storytelling and superb cast, Mary must ultimately face a difficult choice where following her heart means betraying a family she has grown to love!Drama DVD Video
