I have to say that I am astonished to see how poorly this film is rated by many other reviewers. I've read a Jane Austen or two, but not Mansfield Park. Consequently, when I saw this film for the first time I thought it was great, and I still do because I still haven't read the book. It's clear from reading the many other reviews that the makers of this film have greatly upset the Austen purists by substantially altering the story and characters and bringing in non-original elements such as the references to slavery, which anyone could guess was where the family money must have come from. However, the fact remains that this is a very, very decent film in its own right. Frances O' Connor's Fanny Price - ... Read More: >>More Details

Jakob the Liar/Jakob der Lugner was the only East German film to be Oscar-nominated and, considering how neatly it falls into the ever-popular tradition of East German films reminding the population of their sins during the war as a means to engender guilt and stifle criticism, it's surprising to learn how difficult it was to get made after the government detected a possibly subversive thread - you don't think the Nazis could be symbolising the communists, do you? It's a good film but not a great one, surprisingly visually unimaginative considering the strong qualities of Frank Beyer's other films and only really starting to hit home in the last half hour. Still, it's hard to dislike a film that begins with the caption `The story of Jakob the Liar is ... Read More: >>More Details
