VHS : Hamlet [1997]

Hamlet [1997]


starring: Kenneth Branagh, Julie Christie, Derek Jacobi, Kate Winslet, Riz Abbasi
directed by: Kenneth Branagh
October 20, 1997


This is a very well-directed film. The great joy of watching a Branagh-directed Shakespeare is the effort put into ensuring that the diction is as clear and natural as possible without losing the strength of the text. The cast is excellent, Derek Jacobi and Kate Winslet in particular; even cameos for which you would perhaps have doubts - such as Robin Williams, who impresses with his characterisation of Osric, and Billy Crystal as the gravedigger - work. Indeed, the repartee between Billy Crystal and Simon Russell-Beale in the graveyard scene is the funniest I have ever witnessed.

The colour and sets are spectacular, all filmed in 70mm, allowing for great richness and definition. Branagh says he wanted to escape the Gothic look ... Read More:

VHS : Far From The Madding Crowd [1967]

Far From The Madding Crowd [1967]


starring: Julie Christie, Peter Finch, Alan Bates, Terence Stamp, Fiona Walker
directed by: John Schlesinger
July 10, 2000


One of Thomas Hardy's best-loved novels is sensitively and accurately dramatised in this 1967 classic.

Upon inheriting her uncle's farm, the beautiful and assertive Bathsheba Everdene (Julie Christie) is the most sought after maiden in the whole of Weatherbury. She's forced to choose between the affections of three very different men; local shepherd Gabriel Oak, gentleman farmer Mr. Boldwood and the womanising Sargeant Frank Troy. Here, Hardy's classic tale of love, betrayal and tragedy is faithfully dramatised. Personally though, I think the 1998 Paloma Baeza version is even better!

Don't Look Now [1973]


starring: Julie Christie, Donald Sutherland, Hilary Mason, Clelia Matania, Massimo Serato
directed by: Nicolas Roeg
July 05, 1999


Hitchcock used an example to explain the difference between surprise and suspense. If people are seated at a table and a bomb explodes, that is surprise. If they are seated at a table, and you know there's a bomb under the table attached to a ticking clock, but they continue to play cards -- that's suspense. There's a bomb under "Dont Look Now" for excruciating stretches of time.


I was expecting this slow-moving movie to descend into routine shock and horror movie,but it doesn't. Most of the movie is all waiting, anticipating and dreading. The jolts that come about midway are of a similar magnitude to movies such as Sixth Sense or The Exorcist.


The film is slow moving, but it manages to expertly linger to create ... Read More:

VHS : Dr Zhivago [1965]

Dr Zhivago [1965]


starring: David Lean|Omar Sharif|Julie Christie|Geraldine Chaplin
February 22, 1993


I first saw this film 30 years ago and was bowled over by the scenery and the actors. Recently I decided to watch it with a more critical eye and found to my surprise that I was even more captivated by the vastness of the landscape which throughout the film forms the backdrop for the tragic love story that unfolds.
At first I thought that Sharif's Zhivago was too "soft" but as the film unfolded I realised that he was "the poet". Christie was as always perfect as Lara and we shouldn't forget Chaplin as the dutiful and loving wife. She plays the role with just the right amount of pathos. However it is Steiger and Courtney who carry the film.
The sight of Courtney standing at the front of a military train rushing past civilians that he neither sees or hears. ... Read More:

directed by: Hal Ashby

This was a five star film when I was twenty, and genuinely cried at the end feeling my hero had a hard time of it and wern't women cruel and wasn't that the best party ever...now I saw it, laughed a bit, once, and found it horribly dated...but dear viewer, if you are twenty, and sexually inexperienced, you'l probably think it is brilliant..like the Doors really, and there is nothing wrong with that, I just dread watching the Hair film by milos forman again, to find it's lustre gone(do I dare?)

The Go-Between [1970]


starring: Julie Christie, Alan Bates, Margaret Leighton, Michael Redgrave, Dominic Guard
directed by: Joseph Losey
July 10, 2000


Yes, it is a pity that the movie is not presented in its intended theatrical aspect ratio 1.85. But to make it clear it is not presented in "butchered 1.33 to fit conventional TV screens" or a "TV-friendly crop of the original wide-screen movie" either. The movie is presented in its original open matte format, which means it was shot in conventional 1.33 to fit TV screens. For theatrical release the picture was then cropped at the top and the bottom, a common practice since the Fifties. So the picture is nothing missing here as the other reviewers suggest. Instead, it shows more information at the top and the bottom than the theatrical release. Just for the record.
