When one’s son and heir marries one does expect him to do the decent thing and marry
a good, solid and, above all. ENGLISH gel. One doesn't expect him to turn up out
of the blue and announce that he’s tied the knot with a blonde (out of a bottle for
sure) commoner with a penchant for fast cars (and that’s not all that’s fast about
her) from AMERICA of all places...
“Easy Virtue” takes a somewhat subversive view of British country-house society between
the wars. That era has been described as the most blessed in modern history (assuming
you were Upstairs and not Down), but not here, where the Whittakers occupy a mouldering
pile in the countryside. Lady Whittaker’s son strays off the straight and narrow
and introduces a whirlwind into the staid and crusty aristocratic atmosphere. Jessica
Biel stars as the whirlwind - directly at odds with matriarch Kirsten Scott Thomas.
Colin Firth plays the long suffering father and Ben Barnes is the errant offspring.
There’s a whole army of British character actors in supporting roles - all familiar
faces... but what are their names? Director Stephan Elliot’s last major project was
“Priscilla, Queen of the Dessert” but he’s left the high camp at the oasis and concentrates
on doing justice to a very funny script - and as that script is by Noel Coward the
result is as lively a romp as you could wish for at the start of Spring.... except
if you’re sensitive about dog sitting...
(CRIN BLANC- Le cheval sauvage)
1953 - Dir.: Albert Lamourisse (35mm print)
A lesser-known short by the French master filmmaker Albert Lamorisse, whose “Red
Balloon” is an all-time classic
In the south of France is a near-desert region called La Camargue. There lives White
Mane, a magnificent stallion and the leader of a herd of wild horses too proud to
let themselves be broken in by humans. Only Folco, a young fisherman, manages to
tame him. A strong friendship grows between the boy and the horse, but they must
elude the wrangler and his herdsmen to live freely.
This delightful film won the Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and has been
fully restored and reprinted for this re-release.
