Film Reviews by PT

Regarded as one of best films ever made. A study of the upper classes and Madame De... in particular. This is cinema art at it's best. The cinematography is outstanding, long takes, sequence shots, Madame De passing behind objects as the camera still follows her, revealing the workings of her world in doing so. The ultra beautiful Danielle Darrieux gives one of cinemas most memorable performances in the title role, her magnetism is addictive. If you love art house cinema, this film is as the critics say, one of the best ever made. A MUST see for cinema buffs.

The Duchess sees Keira Knightley at her wonderful best as Georgina. Miss Knightley's transformation from a happy young lady into a tormented soul is superbly acted. Brilliantly supported by her tormentor Ralph Fiennes.

The cinematogrophy is superb, with actual locations adding to the quality. A very moving and class piece of cinema.

This film by John Maybury has the feel of the art house genre. There are some wonderful close up shots where the camera lingers, revealing character, and beautifully framed shots.

Rhys is very good as the hard drinking womanising Thomas, but the film belongs to Knightley and Miller's relationship. A film about emotion, the ladies give absolutely top class performances with their character building acting.

Irrespective of being a wonderful film in total, it is worth seeing for Miss Knightley's consummate Welsh accent and remarkable singing.

If this film wasn't true it would be unbelievable even for a movie. Angelina Jolie gives an outstanding performance as the wronged Mother, who will not swallow the so called truth that the powers to be try their best to enforce upon her.

Clint Eastwood captures the era perfectly in his direction, and brings out the best of Jolie as the woman who will not lay down.

This is a top class movie and Angelina Jolie thoroughly deserved her oscar nomination.

If you dig movies about obssesive love, this is a must see film. Deneuve is never better as the ultimate femme fatale, while Belmondo is the hopeless love addict. Smoking damages your health, and thus, it is so apt that the tobbaconist Belmondo puts Catherine Deneuve's character on a cigarette packet. Art house fans should love this movie.
