Director Michael Winterbottom (Northam) attempts to shoot the adaptation of Laurence Sterne’s essentially unfilmable novel, “The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman.”

Quote:
…As in Spike Jonze’s Adaptation and indeed Karel Reisz’s The French Lieutenant’s Woman, Winterbottom reproduces the meta-textual level by simply making it a film about the making of a film – which has to be the best way of filming Tristram Shandy, probably the only way, though it could be applied to any and every kind of book without much difference to the immediate effect. With this split-level spectacle, Winterbottom generates an almost delirious atmosphere by making us breathe two different sorts of heady fume: postmodernism and celebrity…

The post Michael Winterbottom – A Cock and Bull Story (2005) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

A poignant, touching tale of a young man afflicted by Multiple Sclerosis, Go Now suffers little of the sentimentality which often overwhelms television dramas dealing with illness and disability – which writer Jimmy McGovern contemptuously describes as ‘wheelchair plays’. This, and the unusually authentic feel, owes much to the fact that McGovern’s co-writer, newcomer Paul Henry Powell, is himself a sufferer of MS, and based the drama on his own experiences.
Broadcast in the same short series of contemporary love stories that produced the controversial ecstasy romance Loved Up, the drama takes time to build up the romance between builder and amateur footballer Nick and hotel administrator Karen before charting Nick’s descent into illness. The early scenes establish Nick as a man defined by his physical activity – in his sport, his job and his sexuality – which makes his physical deterioration all the more difficult for him to accept.
The writers and director Michael Winterbottom (who, like star Robert Carlyle, had previously worked with McGovern on Cracker), largely provided by Nick’s salt-of-the-earth mates, including the then little-known, pre-Cold Feet James Nesbitt as best mate Tony. _screenonline.org.uk_

Quote:
“This neo-noir British crime drama, set at a decaying English beach resort, begins with a body dropped from a pier. Hairdresser Helen (Rachel Weisz) goes with local deejay Bob (Ben Daniels), but mute bicyclist Honda (Luka Petrusic), who secretly tapes people’s conversations, meets Helen at the beachfront and begins sending her flowers. Honda’s sad nympho sister Smokey (Macedonian-born Labina Mitevska) sings at a local club. A figure from Helen’s past, the enigmatic, mysterious Martin (Alessandro Nivola) checks out Helen but keeps his distance. Irritated that Helen won’t sleep with him, Honda plans a way to embarrass Bob with the secret tapes, while Martin and Helen renew their relationship. Polish cinematographer Slawomir Idziak, famed for his filtered filming for Krzysztof Kieslowski’s (Blue), captures the dark, visual tone of obsessive love, while Elvis Costello’s 1986 song I Want You is heard throughout.”
