I Am Love – review

i_am_love01Oscar winner Tilda Swinton stars in a tragic love story from Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino
“I Am Love” is a lush, deeply textured banquet of sights and sounds that it deserves more than a movie review. Carefully composed and framed, gorgeously appointed, superbly choreographed and accompanied by a thrilling musical score.
“I Am Love” opens on a snowy evening in Milan, where the wealthy Recchi family has gathered for the birthday of their elderly patriarch, Edoardo . At a dinner overseen with prim propriety by his daughter-in-law Emma, the old man tells the assembled guests that he is handing over the family textile business to his son Tancredi and Emma and Tancredi’s eldest son, Edo .If you are a fan of the Italian Director Luchino Visconti, then this film echo’s so many similarities of this excellent work.

The Way Way Back – review

THE WAY, WAY BACK is the funny and poignant coming of age story of 14-year-old Duncan’s (Liam James) summer vacation with his mother, Pam (Toni Collette), her overbearing boyfriend, Trent (Steve Carell), and his daughter, Steph (Zoe Levin). Having a rough time fitting in, the introverted Duncan finds an unexpected friend in gregarious Owen (Sam Rockwell), manager of the Water Wizz water park. Through his funny, clandestine friendship with Owen, Duncan slowly opens up to and begins to finally find his place in the world – all during a summer he will never forget.

The Way Way Back is our feature presentation next Monday, January 13th at Civic Hall in Nantwich. Doors open at 7pm.
