The Invisible Woman: London Première

“The Invisible Woman” London première in London was simple and elegant as it is the movie. Just a red carpet under a little fall of rain outside Odeon in Kensington High Road. On the carpet we met the composer Ilan Eshkeri (Trinity, Stardust, From Time to Time, Coriolanus, I Give it a Year, Austeland),  the…

Only Lovers Left Alive

In a distorted  atmosphere, a perfect cast transports  us into a story that basically talks about love, with the alternative nature typical of Jim Jarmush. To crown this feeling almost otherworldly are ethnic music and night environments to carry us into the world of Adam and Eve. Adam (Tom Hiddleston) is a centuries-old vampire.  He…

Look in a mirror darlin: Farragut North

Ryan Glosling who?  Please, we have Max Irons on stage. We just saw him as the charming King Edward IV in the Starz and BBC series The White Queen but now Max Irons has turned his attention to an equal enchanting political PR in Beau Willimon’s play Farragut North at the Southwark Playhouse in London.…

Do not say ‘Forgive our Romans’: Coriolanus

Like a dull actor, I have forgot my part …. No, he is grown from man to dragon. Putting next to each other, a work as Coriolanus and a small theater without stage as the Donmar, it may seem like a paradox worthy of the best Zeno. But, if we avoid the frustrating war to…

The Invisible Woman: suffering is stronger than all other teaching

Intimate and intelligent, Ralph Fiennes‘ second effort as director is the story about the affair between a mid-aged Charles Dickens (Fiennes) and the young actress Nelly Ternan (Felicity Jones). Their relationship, after the first meeting (when Nelly was a new actress in Dickens’ play The Frozen Deep) grew deeply but slowly. The writer found for…

Lone Survivor: We can be Heroes

Peter Berg and Taylor Kitsch are a consolidated combination. But with Mark Wahlberg, they become a war machine. Perhaps this trio is the real strength of this film, or maybe it’s a great and painful story that needs to be told by images because it should not be forgotten by the world. Lone Survivor is…
