Le Week-End review

Posted


In this magically buoyant and bittersweet film, Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan play a long-married couple who revisit Paris for a long weekend for the first time since their honeymoon, in hopes of rekindling their relationship-or, perhaps, to bring it to an end. Diffident, wistful Nick (Broadbent) and demanding, take-charge Meg (Duncan) career from harmony to disharmony to resignation and back again as they take stock and grapple with love, loss, regret and, disappointment, in their own very English way. When Meg and Nick run into their insufferably successful old friend Morgan, an American academic superstar with a fancy Parisian address played with pure delight by Jeff Goldblum, their squabbles rise to a register that’s both emotionally rich and very funny.

I Am Love – review

Posted

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.
