The Singing Detective
Michael Gambon
,
Patrick Malahide
BBC Warner, 2003
The Best Thing You'll ever watch
Some have suggested that "The Singing Detective" is the greatest production ever done for television; I could not even suggest a close number two! I originally was inspired to look at The Singing Detective because I enjoyed the "Maigret" series so much. I thought ...
Lord Mountbatten - The Last Viceroy
Vladek Sheybal
,
Patrick Allen
Acorn Media, 2006
Eye-filling and wonderfully layered.
For those who like historical narrative and particularly films about the Raj, this will be a very welcome addition to your film collection. Superbly scripted, with intelligent dialogue and meticulous attention to visual detail, "The Last Viceroy" is a fascinating ...
The Draughtsman's Contract
Anthony Higgins
, Janet Suzman
Fox Lorber, 1999
Ignore the 1 & 2 star reviews
Forget the bad reviews you see here. Clearly this film went... swoosh... right over their heads. Not that these 1 & 2 star folks are dumb or anything, but this is an unusual film in that one has to ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION to what is on the screen plus you must LISTEN to ...
A Dry White Season
Donald Sutherland
, Janet Suzman

Welcome to South Africa, Benjamin Du Toit.
Susan Surandon's cynical remark to Donald Sutherland, indicating that although he's lived all his life in South Africa, he was oblivoius to the brutality surrounding his normal family life. Schoolteacher Meneer Du Toit literally loses everything in his struggle to ...

Noah Taylor
Lions Gate, 2003
Great movie
Art plus politics equals power. Right on. John Cusack was incredible in this movie. That was a really great movie. I love it. I watch it all the time.
Nuns on the Run
Eric Idle
,
Robbie Coltrane
Starz / Anchor Bay, 2005
great comedy
I know this movie may offend some people but I thought it was really great. I saw it twice on TV and just bought the DVD. Eric Idle has become one of my favorite comedy actors - Suddenly Susan with Brooke Shields, Splitting Heirs with Rick Moranis, and Monty Python to ...
Nicholas and Alexandra
Michael Jayston
, Janet Suzman
Sony Pictures, 1999
Nicholas and Alexandra
A beautifully filmed and concise story which does an excellent job of explaining the reasons behind the Russian Revolution, why Rasputin gained such a prominent place in the lives of the Tsar and Empress, and how Nicholas's inability to see that times and events were ...
Antony and Cleopatra
Richard Johnson
, Janet Suzman
Lions Gate, 2004
To Cool a Gypsy's Lust ...
Directors of "Antony and Cleopatra" must decide what story to tell. Should it be the geopolitical conflict between East and West, the refined culture, hedonism and mysticism of Egypt versus the stern militarism and morality of Rome (and its Judeo-Christian legacy)? Or, ...
The Draughtsman's Contract
Anthony Higgins
,
Anne-Louise Lambert
Zeitgeist Films, 2008
"Your significance, Mr. Neville, is attributable to both innocence and arrogance in equal parts." He understands this too late.
We're in post Restoration England in 1694, and at a country estate filled with condescending, witty, superficial creatures dressed in heavy satins and lace, with chalk dusted cheeks, painted cupid lips and beauty spots, and wearing magnificent high wigs with cascading ...

Leon The Pig Farmer
This was a strange movie, but I love it. It was very funny. And the reilgous jokes were not that bad. Mark Frankel did a great job. I love the whole part were he is at the bowling alley. When he got hit in the face by the ball, I never thought I was going to stop ...
