Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review: Topsy-Turvy (1999)

By FilmIntuitionJen on | From reviews.filmintuition.com

Now Available to Own Related Release: Since looks can always be deceiving, we’re frequently reminded to never judge a book by its cover or take something at face value without first taking it with a grain of salt. Yet in addition to possessing a small kernel of truth, another reason why idioms are so popular is because there’s one for any given occasion and every single justification. Therefore, when it comes to bewitching first impressions and questions of truth and beauty...Read Full Story

Mike Leigh's Grief

By conorryan on | From conorfryan.blogspot.com

The stultifying world of late 50s suburban middle class respectability mixed with the memories of wartime loss is the setting for Mike Leigh's remarkable new play, Grief , which has its first out-of-London run at Bath this week. Lesley Manville plays Dorothy, a war widow trying to bring up a 15 year-old girl Victoria (played by Lark Rise star Ruby Bentall) in a household shared with her soon-to-retire brother Edwin (a fine buttoned up turn by Sam Kelly). The two-hour play, which runs with no...Read Full Story

Happy-Go-Lucky (2008, Mike Leigh)

By thestopbutton on | From thestopbutton.com

I’m not sure how I feel about Panavision Mike Leigh. Dick Pope’s cinematography–and the film’s overall color scheme too–is very vibrant. Happy-Go-Lucky is a peppy, bright, Panavision Mike Leigh film. It’s got a loud–good, but loud–score (from Gary Yershon); the score’s peppy too. There’s a very definite arc to the film, with a predictable ending. It’s improvised like the rest of Leigh’s films, but it’s going for a different effect–it’s a comedy. If Hugh Grant showed up in Happy-Go-Lucky , he...Read Full Story
