I cant speak highly enough of this film. Everett and Firth bounce off each other with effortless charm and Rupert's dry sarcasm mixed with Firth's competent reassurance do everything possible to make this a jewel of a film, two fantastic actors and a great and stifling story of repressed homosexuality. >>More Details

"Quills" tells of the last days of the infamous Marquis de Sade (Geoffrey Rush), who wrote erotic stories that shocked and delighted readers in 18th century France. He is living a rather privileged life as an inmate in an asylum run by a sympathetic cleric (Joaquin Phoenix), where he produces his plays for the nobility. Sade is allowed to write, but not to publish; however, a young laundry maid (Kate Winslet) admires him and smuggles his work out of the asylum. The Emperor, Napoleon, dislikes his books and orders that Sade be stopped once and for all. Sade's paper, ink, and quills are confiscated, and the cruel Dr. Royer-Collard (Michael Caine) is sent to oversee the asylum. The dialogue is literate and elegant and the acting is first ...

Average Rating:	Frenchman's Creek [1998] starring: Tara Fitzgerald, Anthony Delon, Tim Dutton, James Fleet, Rupert Vansittart directed by: Ferdinand Fairfax February 08, 1999		Used Price: Â£3.08
I don't know what age audience the film makers were targeting but I imagine 13 to 18 would find it enjoyable, or if you have not read the book. If you have you will find it a very disappointing adaptation. I suppose some changes to the story line are inevitable if one only has 100 minutes to deliver over 240 pages of complex writing, but none of those changes enhanced enjoyment of the novel for me. The acting was so-so, over aggressive Tara Fitzgerald wearing one sultry expression from start to finish, and Anthony Delon delivering slightly over the top "Frenchness". Which is a shame....I came across the novel whilst on holiday in Cornwall (but of course!), and being a fan of du Maurier's work I thought I'd give it a go one afternoon and I could not put it down, ...

Average Rating:	Another Country [1984] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Michael Jenn, Robert Addie, Rupert Wainwright directed by: Marek Kanievska September 07, 2004		Used Price: Â£9.90
Marek Kanievska's Another Country, written originally by Julian Mitchell as a play, promises a delicious gay romp with Rupert Everett and Colin Firth doing arguably what they do best - upper-class public-school boys, stiff upper lip included. Aside the lush, sweeping scenes of a school which is a thinly-veiled Eton, and the hapless charm of Mr. Everett (and I do find him incredibly sexy in this film; Colin not so much for the huge 80s hair), the film invites us to take a look at the rigid feudal society of boarding school life in England in the thirties. If you're a fan, which I most certainly am, Rupert Everett is in full rah mode, playing a cheeky gay in the sexually-charged atmosphere of a boarding school. It's a slow and gentle story which is most ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Confessions Of A Trickbaby [2000] starring: Natasha Lyonne, MarÃa Celedonio, David Alan Grier, Vincent Gallo, April Telek directed by: Matthew Bright October 29, 2001		List Price: Â£17.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.97 You Save: £12.02 (67%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£11.99
As well as what the other reviewers said, this film is a pretty biting social commment on the US justice system, a theme also big in Freeway (Matthew Bright's earlier cult movie, of which this is a kind of semi-sequel). This is pretty hard to define, being violent, sad, funny, harrowing and just weird by turn, and seeming to jump from B-movie spoof to gritty crime drama to black comedy to even sort of a love story (though about as twisted a sort as you get), before suddenly going off on a kind of weird horror tangent, as the Hansel and Gretel idea comes back into it in a pretty big way (it reminded me a lttle of From Dusk Till Dawn in that way). It sounds like a disjointed mess that wouldn't work, but it's not- good directing keeps it together, while the terrific ... Read More: >>More Details
