Film Title

The Wings of the Dove

Director

Iain Softley

Starring

  • Helena Bonham Carter as Kate Croy
  • Alison Elliott as Milly Theale
  • Linus Roache as Merton Densher
  • Elizabeth McGovern as Susan
  • Charlotte Rampling as Aunt Maude
  • Michael Gambon as Lionel Croy

A passionate yet dark-hearted film about social status, friendship and a nefarious scheme, The Wings of the Dove successfully transports the novel of Henry James to a complex motion picture that is lovely to look at in terms of cinematography and engaging in a subtle way because of the characters in it and the convincing work from the cast in embodying them.

The year is 1910 and in London, Kate Croy is a woman with a tenuous foothold in society. The Wings of the Dove PosterAs the daughter of a now deceased mother, who was socially prominent but threw it away to be with Kate’s opium addicted father, Kate now has to rely on her unsmiling and severe Aunt Maude. Maude is a stern women who wants Kate to marry well and thus secure her return to the riches of society. But Kate is in fact in love with Merton Densher, a penniless journalist. Their love is forbidden and not deemed acceptable because if Kate were to marry him she would lose her inheritance and her chance of returning to high society. This is a fact Maude reminds spirited Kate of when she threatens to stop her inheritance if she doesn’t break off the relationship with Merton. Kate, under duress breaks off the relationship for a while as she attempts to find ways to ensure her survival. The arrival of beautiful and amiable American heiress Milly starts a friendship between Kate and her, as both women scoff at the machinations of society and how everyone is caught up in them. After overhearing someone discuss that the seemingly vivacious Milly is in fact dying, the wheels in Kate’s head start spinning as a plan begins to formulate in her mind. If she were to push Merton onto the beatific Milly, as it is obvious that the American heiress has feelings for him, she could very well leave her large fortune to him. If this were to happen, then Merton would have enough money to marry Kate and she could once more have the social status she so desires, without the stipulations and watchful eye of her spiteful Aunt Maude. Milly The Wings of the DoveMerton is shocked by Kate’s plan, but goes along as he doesn’t want to be without her. The intelligent Kate sets the plan in motion once she, Millie and Merton go on holiday to Venice, despite her own doubts which she keeps hidden of ripping apart the friendship with Milly and ruining her lover in Merton. Yet the plan was never going to go smoothly and that is exactly the course that it runs. The whole scheme involving Milly is ultimately fatally compromised by the genuine attraction and love that Merton begins to feel for her, that Kate begins to see and becomes jealous of as it wasn’t part of the scheme of hers. What she believed was a well thought out plan to ensure she would retain love and money becomes dangerous and highly personal, the likes of which none of them will come out unscathed.

Iain Softley excellently mounts this film by refusing to give into the demand for over the top drama. He immerses us in the world of the 1910’s that James clearly held more than a little disdain for, where everything was beneath the surface, money seemed to be everything and what is most shocking is hinted at rather than shown. I really liked the way Softley used this technique of having a deeper sense of ambiguity about the characters as it got me to think more about them and it didn’t render them just cardboard cut out characters you would expect to see in a period drama/romance. Kate and MertonThese characters become interesting and engaging throughout, with added complexity added by an intelligently structured and observant screenplay from Hossein Amini. Both Softley’s direction and Amini’s screenplay are in no rush to tell The Wings of the Dove’s story, but that gives it even more depth as we gradually see the changing events involving the trio of main characters and don’t feel shortchanged that parts seemed lacking. The characters in themselves are wholly intriguing, especially Kate who manages to be at once cold-blooded in her desire to have the man she wants and the money, yet also be strangely heartbreaking in the levels she goes to ensure this, which include manipulating a friend she has come to hold dear. Some may scoff at the deliberate pace employed during the piece; but in my book it lends The Wings of the Dove a welcome change from in your face theatrics and instead sheds light on the subtle machinations and plots going on that are gradually revealed. And on the visual front, The Wings of the Dove is a spellbinding watch, thanks to the sensual yet moody cinematography of Eduardo Serra, that lenses London and most successfully Venice. As the story moves on the colour palette darkens and subdued blues and purples fill the screen, functioning as a metaphor for the sadness and tragedy that will arise due to Kate’s plan. I can’t think of the last time I saw Venice look so spectacular on film. And combined with a sweeping score, that captures the inevitable melancholy the scheme will bring, on a visual and sonic level ( as well as acted and written), The Wings of the Dove practically soars.

In the complex lead role of passionate yet calculating Kate Croy, who sets the events of the story in motion, Helena Bonham Carter gives one of her best performances. Helena Bonham Carter as Kate CroyIt’s a performance of excellent subtlety and layers; Bonham Carter makes Kate have a desperation and that leads to her manipulative nature coming into full force to successfully execute her plot to gain both the love of her life and financial security, along with continued status. Helena Bonham Carter knows better than to give into the temptation to make Kate truly despicable and effectively sidesteps this path by imbuing her with depth, doubt, a sense of lingering guilt and jealousy to Kate as her plan comes crashing down around her. I can’t imagine anyone else playing the part of Kate quite as well because Helena Bonham Carter gives her all to the part and emerges with a multi-dimensional portrayal. As the radiant but ailing Milly, Alison Elliott portrays her as a woman determined to live while she still can and is filled with deep love. Rather than a saintly victim, Elliott wonderfully shows that Milly is no naive woman but one that wants to see the good in things until her pain becomes unbearable. In the role of Kate’s lover Merton, Linus Roache exerts a cynical viewpoint that slowly becomes haunted and changed once he falls in love with the dying Milly. Merton The Wings of the DoveRoache makes up the third part of the compromised love triangle of the story and more than holds his own against Bonham Carter and Elliott. On the supporting front, Elizabeth McGovern gives an elegance to Milly’s companion Susan who could have been a forgettable character but remains memorable here. An imperious Charlotte Rampling has the right authority and nastiness to portray Aunt Maude, whose cruelty and deceptions is what leads Kate to follow in a similar suit. The only real actor wasted in this film is Michael Gambon who is given the thankless role of Kate’s opium fiend father that doesn’t require him to do a lot.

An excellently crafted rendering of the Henry James novel that makes the characters all complex and the events have a sense of slowly unfurling tragedy, The Wings of the Dove is intelligent and sophisticated film making that favours subtlety and implication rather than over the top and unrealistic histrionics. And if nothing else, The Wings of the Dove deserves showers of praise for the trio of central performances, particularly the one from Helena Bonham Carter.

45 Years

2010's, 45 Years, Andrew Haigh, Charlotte Rampling, Drama, Tom Courtenay

Film Title

45 Years

Director

Andrew Haigh

Starring

  • Charlotte Rampling as Kate Mercer
  • Tom Courtenay as Geoff Mercer

An intimate and quietly devastating look at marriage and how it can be threatened by the past, 45 Years is a subtle movie that benefits from naturalistic direction and two excellent performances from Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay.

Kate and Geoff Mercer are a comfortable married couple of retirees who live a comfortable, middle class life in Norfolk. 45 Years PosterThey are preparing to celebrate their forty-fifth wedding anniversary on the upcoming Saturday, after their fortieth celebrations were halted due to Geoff’s health. Yet at the beginning of the five days that lead up to the party, the arrival of a letter changes everything insidiously. The letter reveals that the body of Geoff’s former lover Katya has been discovered in a glacier of the Swiss Alps after she fell while climbing decades before. At first, Kate doesn’t seem bothered by this as she knew about Geoff being with Katya before they ever got together and the memory of her has become somewhat distant and forgotten. But as the days go on and Geoff seems to retreat into memories of times with Katya, Kate becomes increasingly alarmed and shattered by what she sees as betrayal. She is now forced to reevaluate her marriage to Geoff and look at whether or not the last forty-five years have been a lie or not. All of this transpires in the space of the five days leading up to the party, as we witness Geoff get a new lease on life by remembering his old love and Kate wrestling with her pain and doubt about her life and marriage.

As writer and director, Andrew Haigh fashions a powerful film that relies on the little things to help build up the unease of the story. His intimate direction zeroes in on Geoff and Kate, allowing us to glimpse their reactions to the news and the way they both handle it differently. His writing is filled with naturalism, rather than stagey dialogue that would otherwise take us out of the experience. This is thought-provoking film making at its best with subtlety and nuance taking precedence over unnecessary histrionics and melodrama. 45 Years MovieIt almost feels like we’re intruding on the privacy of this couple, much in the same way the ghost of Katya haunts them and leaves Kate reeling. That’s how realistic this film is, we can’t help but observe the emotions that slowly begin to rise for both people and how it ultimately threatens to change everything between them. The lack of musical score helps create an immediacy to 45 Years, as we are left to watch the gradual emotional unfolding of Kate in the days leading up to the celebration and how she begins to question her marriage as the day comes ever closer. In fact, when music is used it is older songs that mean a lot to the couple, but begin to take on whole other different meanings as the past creeps up on their long years together.

As the main two characters whose relationship is threatened by the ghost of the past, Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay have never been better. Charlotte Rampling 45 YearsRampling in particular is transcendent in the role of Kate, who tries to put up a front of not being concerned but as she discovers more about the past, becomes more riddled with pain, shock and anger. The delivery from Charlotte Rampling is exquisite; none of her performance screams overacting in the slightest, everything is done in the most subtle way as she digs into the wounds of Kate and her face without the need for dialogue, shows us the utter sense of betrayal she feels at knowing that everything in her life could be a lie. I think its fair to say this is one of the best performances given from Charlotte Rampling. Tom Courtenay is very effective as Geoff, who finds that the fire he thought had died with Katya still has embers burning that begin to surface. It’s not like Geoff is an unlikable character, he just can’t see what his reminiscing of the past is doing to his wife. This is a true testament to the talents of Tom Courtenay that we don’t hate Geoff, we actually feel a bit sorry for him at times but bewildered by his retreat into the past as we see the impact it has on his wife.

Heartbreakingly real and mightily effective, 45 Years is a movie that will remain in your head for a long time because of how palpable it all feels and the immensely believable work from the two main actors, especially Charlotte Rampling.

Never Let Me Go

2010's, Andrew Garfield, Carey Mulligan, Charlotte Rampling, Drama, Keira Knightley, Mark Romanek, Never Let Me Go, Sally Hawkins, Science Fiction

Film Title

Never Let Me Go

Director

Mark Romanek

Starring

  • Carey Mulligan as Kathy H
  • Andrew Garfield as Tommy D
  • Keira Knightley as Ruth C
  • Sally Hawkins as Miss Lucy
  • Charlotte Rampling as Miss Emily
  • Isobel Meikle-Small as Young Kathy
  • Ella Purnell as Young Ruth
  • Charlie Rowe as Young Tommy

Adapted from the acclaimed novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go is a haunting evocation on the subject of mortality. Capturing the mournful undercurrents of the story and featuring three impressive central performances, Mark Romanek directs this poignant story of the human soul.

Never Let Me Go Film CastTo the outside world, Hailsham looks like any other boarding school. Yet it is far from it. In the opening frames of the movie, the audience sees things that seem somewhat different to the expectations of an English boarding school. The students scan their wrists on sensors around the school and take unnamed tablets every morning. For Kathy, Tommy and Ruth, this is the way they have been brought up, yet there is the lingering feeling that something isn’t quite right about the schools ethos. Narrated by Kathy, we witness the three central characters growing up in this peculiar environment in which they are forbidden to pass the boundary separating the school from the outside world. This isolating existence adds to the enigmas surrounding the trio. When they learn their destiny from their new teacher Miss Lucy, which I won’t divulge for fear of spoiling it, it changes everything about them. Years later, the characters are grown up and have left Hailsham for somewhere else. Yet there is still the searching for answers regarding their fate that plagues quiet Kathy, awkward Tommy and jealous Ruth. Kathy is in love with Tommy but as she doesn’t want to upset the balance of friendship stays quiet as he courts Ruth. The jealousy and tenuous link at many times almost breaks as they navigate their way through realisation, grief and love. For the trio, a normal life is not an option and various questions are posed throughout Never Let Me Go surrounding the human soul and the nature of existence. Poignant, poetic and profound, Never Let Me Go asks many questions of us an audience and all we can do is witness the sadness, emotions and strange beauty of the film that will haunt almost anyone who sees it.

Alex Garland’s screenplay sensitively depicts the realisation of events and the effect it has on the close friendship shared between these characters with no knowledge of the outside world. By parts science fiction and drama with a romance at the heart, Never Let Me Go manages to balance these with stunning and powerful results. Mark Romanek’s subtle direction frames the story in melancholy and evocative colours which allows the story to reveal certain surprising points with a quiet unpredictability and intelligence. Rachel Portman contributes a stunning score of love, anguish and closeness that really lends the film a massive emotional impact as these characters decipher their shocking destiny and are faced with difficult decisions.

What really gives Never Let Me Go an emotional heart is the three central performances of Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield and Keira Knightley. Carey Mulligan is the most effective in her portrayal of Kathy, who narrates the story. Some may say the role seems passive, when actually it is filled with quiet, determined emotion and a certain weariness that Mulligan excellent embodies with deep pathos and skill. It is a role filled with passion, intelligence and power that Carey Mulligan delivers with deep emotional weight. Andrew Garfield contributes a wide-eyed naive quality to Tommy as he journeys through a discovery for the truth whilst dealing with his feelings for both Kathy and Ruth. Garfield is very subtle but hugely impressive in this role, and when he releases his emotion later on in the film it is such a harrowing moment. Rounding out the troika is Keira Knightley’s performance as Ruth, whose jealousy burns as she sees how Kathy clearly adores her boyfriend. But Knightley intelligently doesn’t make Ruth a one-dimensional character, she shows us the caring side that want to hold on to her friends and the aggressive side that surfaces when provoked.  All of the actors portraying the characters as children are exceptional as they have an uncanny resemblance to their older characters and possess deep emotions for people so young. Sally Hawkins has a brief but highly emotional role as the teacher who informs the students of their destiny and Charlotte Rampling is suitably imperious and enigmatic as the headmistress of Hailsham.

Crafted with poignancy and full of deep, far-reaching themes, Never Let Me Go is a haunting film that will live long in the memory.

Angel Heart

1980's, Alan Parker, Angel Heart, Charlotte Rampling, Horror, Lisa Bonet, Mickey Rourke, Robert De Niro, Thriller

Film Title

Angel Heart

Director

Alan Parker

Cast

  • Mickey Rourke as Harry Angel
  • Robert De Niro as Louis Cyphre
  • Lisa Bonet as Epiphany Proudfoot
  • Charlotte Rampling as Margaret Kruesmark

An unsettling mix of noir and supernatural thriller, Angel Heart contains many visually indelible images and a highly atmospheric score that linger long in the memory. Although polarizing and controversial upon release, in no small part to a graphic love scene, Angel Heart is much more than that. It may seem like style over substance and lacking subtlety, but if you look closer it has a nail-biting premise that culminates in a shocking and unexpected finale. Angel Heart is not a film for everyone, in particular the faint hearted but there is no denying its shock power, sense of creepy atmosphere and memorable lead performance by a young Mickey Rourke.

It is 1955, New York. Harry Angel is an unkempt private detective who is often contacted for simple cases. One day he is contacted by a lawyer whose client wants help with an interesting job. The client is the elegant yet strangely sinister Louis Cyphre, who Harry meets in a church in Harlem. He informs Harry of Johnny Favourite, a crooner during the war who suffered horrific injuries and hasn’t been seen in a long time. Cyphre had a deal which he cryptically talks about that he had with the crooner that he wishes to resolve. He wants Angel to find out simply if Johnny is alive or dead. Harry takes the case, but as he investigates further into Johnny’s life in New Orleans and meets the sexy and mysterious Epiphany Proudfoot, a growing sense of creepiness and uncertainty begins to surround it. His questions are met with hush-hush replies and strange occurrences begin happening as a result of Angel’s curiosity with the crooner. He also becomes caught up in the Voodoo of Johnny’s past and he is plagued by weird dreams that make no sense to him at all.

Special praise should go to the cinematography that captures the darkness and sweltering atmosphere that Harry uncovers through the course of the film. The film is also sonically intriguing, making the simplest of sounds such as the clattering of feet and the turning of a fan sound sinister. A young Mickey Rourke both shows the tough and vulnerable side to Harry, making the audience relate to him and what he is going through. His scenes with De Niro are fantastic and memorable. Robert De Niro relishes the role of Cyphre and plays him with a creepy and cryptic menace that is quite unsettling. Shedding her good girl image of The Cosby Show, Lisa Bonet is enigmatic and sexy as the Voodoo priestess and daughter of one of Johnny’s conquests. Charlotte Rampling is an interesting and mystical presence in her small role as a wronged fortune-teller whose heart was broken by the crooner.

All in all, Angel Heart is a visually intriguing and doom laden movie that takes many twists and turns as it escalates. As I’ve mentioned earlier, the film is not for everyone. But if you like a thriller with a supernatural edge and bizarre images, this is the film I would recommend.

Melancholia

2010's, Alexander Skarsgård, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Charlotte Rampling, Drama, John Hurt, Kiefer Sutherland, Kirsten Dunst, Lars Von Trier, Melancholia, Science Fiction, Stellan Skarsgård, Udo Kier

Movie Title

Melancholia

Director

Lars Von Trier

Cast

  • Kirsten Dunst as Justine
  • Charlotte Gainsbourg as Claire
  • Kiefer Sutherland as John
  • Alexander Skarsgård as Michael
  • Stellan Skarsgård as Jack
  • Charlotte Rampling as Gaby
  • John Hurt as Dexter
  • Udo Kier as Wedding Planner

The Melancholia of the title refers to two things; a rogue planet that has been hiding behind the sun and is heading towards the Earth and the frequent bouts of depression that Justine, one of the main characters suffers from as the movie progresses. As with most of Von Trier’s films, this one will polarize viewers. People seem to either think of him as an artistic genius or violent sadist, there never seems to be a middle ground when it comes to people’s opinions on the controversial director. Although the film’s pace maybe too slow for some viewers tp watch, I personally enjoyed the film for many reasons that I will go into further detail in this review.

The plot revolves around young bride Justine on her wedding night and the events that follow on from it. At her lavish wedding to groom Michael and the ensuring reception organised by her sister , various incidents begin to take a detrimental effect on Justine.  Her mother and father bicker during the speeches, her mother tells her  “Enjoy it while it lasts” words that take on a bigger meaning and resonance as the film unravels. During these scenes, the up close camera work clearly captures the characters off guard, especially Justine whose face reveals hurt and pain as she tries to smile.  It also helps create a sense of confusion and isolation within her character. Her relationship with her sister Claire is explored and reveals a distant feeling between the two of them.  With all the feelings of melancholy beginning to engulf her, the rogue planet of the title begins to emerge ominously and seems destined to strike the Earth.

Split into two parts named after the sisters, the film explores the frail relationship between the two and how they react the impending planet.  I thought that each half was remarkably different, the first half is more slow-moving whereas the second half gains momentum and becomes more dramatic as it goes on to reach its climax. If there is one thing that kept me engaged when watching the film it was the performances, especially from Dunst, who I believe gives one of the best performances in her career. She is a revelation as Justine, giving an emotionally raw and bruised portrayal of a woman close to breaking point. Even when she isn’t speaking her intensity is felt, as her eyes reveal the deep sadness and emotional bruises inside her. In other word she is the embodiment of melancholy. Also giving a great performance is Gainsbourg, who returns for her second venture in a Von Trier movie after her harrowing role in the highly controversial and much discussed Antichrist. Even though she scolds her sister for her despondency, she is equally troubled and becomes highly strung as the thought of Melancholia begins to get to her. Sutherland does well in his role as Claire’s amateur astronomer husband who tries to convince her that there is nothing to worry about but fails. Also the cameos of Charlotte Rampling and John Hurt add to the acting honours, as well as Von Trier regular Udo Kier as an impatient and extremely surly wedding planner.Stellan Skarsgård and his son Alexander Skarsgård appear as Justine’s boss and her new husband in the first part of the film.

Aside from the acting, the stunning visuals are amazing to behold. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an apocalypse look so strangely and hauntingly beautiful before. Especially, the aesthetically and visually outstanding opening sequence, filmed in extreme slow motion to the strains of an epic Wagner score. The movie itself is full of so many bold symbolism and imagery that you will find it hard to forget them long after the credits have began to roll, they are that haunting. Although the film seems to follow some of the conventions of the sci-fi and disaster movie genre, it is essentially a drama about the depths of loneliness within a person and how it can take a hold over you and your whole existence.

As I have mentioned earlier, this is a film that will definitely divide opinion sharply down the middle. But if you are looking for a visually enthralling and well-acted hybrid between disaster movie and intense drama, Melancholia is a film that I would vocally advise you to give a look and judge for yourself.
