Revelation (2001)
Just awful!
Difficult to write anything really....have just watched this film on television but gave up shortly before the end. I'm only writing this because I am so angry that the broadcasters saw fit to show this truly dreadful film. The story was impenetrable and the acting made it worse. I don't think that I've seen a film where the lead actor and actress seem in such different worlds to each other. No chemistry or anything else. Terence Stamp looked bored and the others made zero impact, I'm afraid. Were we supposed to be scared, excited, intrigued or what?? Can't write any more constructive or destructive comments, the film really doesn't deserve it. Deadful waste of time....silliest film ever!
The Bridge (1991)
A lovely, evocative and highly atmospheric film.
I have watched this film several times and have always greatly enjoyed the images and the atmosphere. The Suffolk coast has been a long-time favourite of mine and the film does it great justice. I was not familiar with the paintings of Philip Wilson Steer but this film provides a wonderful introduction. The story is pretty lightweight but the excellent acting makes it all come to life quite magically. I'm not sure why the film was not more successful. It has plenty of drama, the setting and characters are beautifully filmed and the direction has just the right pace. Perhaps the movie world of the 1990's was not ready for the delights of Victorian Suffolk and its very distinct characters!
