The post Marion Hänsel – Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (1995) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

“As a writer of brilliant comedies, where satire tosses and turns under sheets of exquisitely embroidered farce, Michael Frayn’s biggest hit came with the hysterical “play within a play” fiasco Noises Off. Film work such as the John Cleese comedy Clockwise and the touching TV play First and Last have showed off Frayn as a fine observer of people. But in Copenhagen he turns to history, and a moral conundrum so trenchant that at points it overtakes the carefully reconstructed plot in the viewer’s mind. For every visual image there is an imaginary imp hovering behind it asking us to see a wider picture.

The play remembers a meeting that took place in 1941 between two physicists, the Danish Niels Bohr and German Werner Heisenberg. As friends they had collaborated on crucial work that led to the atomic bomb, but World War II placed them on opposite sides. Heisenberg arranges a mysterious trip to see Bohr and his wife. The meeting that follows, rich in splendid dialogue and fine acting, tests our feelings on both the moral responsibilities of the scientist, and the link between a man in wartime and the country he unavoidably represents when in an alien land.

Bohr’s Denmark is a small, occupied state. Heisenberg’s Germany is a massive world power certain of victory in a war zone not yet tipped in the balance by America’s intervention. The two main protagonists have the weights of their own worlds on their shoulders, and in casting Stephen Rea, Daniel Craig and Francesca Annis, three careful and magnetic performers, this edgy production is in safe hands. The simple direction pleases too; the opening shots especially evoke a cold, doomy land, while the lucid, erudite language paints in the vivid colours between the greys.

As a stage play Copenhagen evoked a remarkable sense of place and time. On television we have the luxury of seeing the world the play inhabits first hand. But this in no way blunts the impact. For every visual image there is an imaginary imp hovering behind it asking us to see a wider picture. There lies Frayn’s triumph, and the secret of the play’s ability to haunt the mind long after it’s finished.”

The post Gillies MacKinnon – Trojan Eddie (1996) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
Adapted by Nichola Bruce from the acclaimed photographic novel by Timothy O’Grady and Steve Pyke. I Could Read the Sky is a haunting and lyrical film about identity, love, loss, and the isolation and loneliness of the immigrant. Dermot Healy movingly portrays a man reflecting upon his life, from his rural upbringing on the West Coast of Ireland to his journey to London and experiences in the vividly modern metropolis. Driven by a dynamic music soundtrack that draws from both environments, the film is a labyrinthine, visually extraordinary journey into the textures, fragments, details and layers of one man’s life and memories.

“A multi layered, visual and lyrical poem” Daily Telegraph

“Exceptional… restores faith in the artistic possibilities of cinema” Screen International

“Dermot Healy brilliantly portrays a man drowning in rememberance…. Bruce’s debut is something of a landmark” The Guardian

The post Nichola Bruce – I Could Read the Sky (1999) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

The storyline’s centre is focused upon a married Irish pair, émigrés into North London from Dublin, Gerry and Ellie McAllister (Stephen Rae/Sinead Cusack), and several crises that challenge the harmony of the couple’s middle-class urban existence, most of their troubles having a familiar quality for a viewer. Gerry is employed as a planning commissioner for a North London region town, while Ellie, “pre-menstrual” (in Blair’s words), works part-time in a book store and watches over the McAllister’s two sons. Gerry is intent upon utilizing local ordinances in order to sanction a caravan site as home for a group of Irish Travelers, while his increasingly frustrated wife dreams of completing a longstanding novel-in-progress , but finds that a great deal of her time is being taken by an inarticulate friend, Jess (Clare Higgins), who is apparently in the midst of a nervous collapse. This work has nary a dull passage, due essentially to the effective naturalistic technique exercised in its production. Twin brothers, Ray and Roy Nunn (both played by Phil Daniels) are carpenters hired by Ellie to refurbish the McAllister bathroom, and they, along with Howard Spink (Philip Jackson, in a neatly controlled turn), a confidence man who contracts them, each connects with all of the film’s other principal characters, and provide a good deal of the ironic humour that enlivens the piece, while giving it the consonance that normally comes from a conventionally scripted picture.

Rae and Cusack rehearsed their roles thoroughly and the film clearly benefits, as it is convincing in the details, with thwarted novelist Ellie’s shelved hopes matched by Gerry’s surreptitiously drawn alter ego, a cartoon hero he has labelled ‘Paddy Plan-It’, “trapped in a world not of his making”. The narrative does not reach its end in anything like to a customary sense, as this would have only lessened the effectiveness of the film’s nicely wrought character development. More than one viewing will probably be necessary for most in order to fully appreciate the rich texture of a film for which all dialogue is improvisational. Additionally, the process with which plot elements commingle is cleverly accomplished by an able supporting cast that clearly benefits from intensive rehearsal sessions shared with always top-tier Rea and Cusack. Notice must be made of pleasing performances of Daniels as both twins, Higgins as a bedevilled Jess and Saira Todd who is cast as an eagerly flirtatious co-worker of Gerry. This film is of fine quality on its own merits, and also scores as an inspired technical exercise. (by rsoonsa at imdb.com]

Quote:
Alone in her empty flat, from her window Anne observes the people passing by who nervously snatch up the personal belongings and pieces of furniture she has put out on the pavement. Her final gesture of taking a ring off her finger signals she is leaving her previous life in Holland behind. She goes to Ireland, where she chooses to lead a solitary, wandering existence, striding through the austere landscapes of Connemara. During her travels, she discovers a house that is home to a hermit, Martin.
