Il commissario Montalbano: Il metodo Catalanotti (2021)
A betrayal to a much loved series
The Montalbano in this last eps is unrecognisable; he doesn't enjoy any of the qualities for which we fell in love with him- it is a real shame that this callous eps is the last- it leaves a bad taste.
The Gilded Age (2022)
Extraordinary production values terrible casting, direction and acting
It is almost heartbreaking to see something so lavish in production values (costumes are rich and go a long way in defining the "tribes") so lacking in the performances. It feels the director is in a terrible hurry and all deliveries are rushed - there is none of the timing and nuanced layering that Downton Abbey was so rich with. Perhaps there is
a disconnect between the very British author and the very American cast and they don't share the same ear for language. I would have hoped a small cameo from one of the great thespians could have graced roles such as Mrs. Astor - (think of a Leslie Manville) but no such luck. Some of the acting in some principal roles is positively leaden except for Cynthia Nixon who makes a valiant attempt. Sadly disappointing.
The Colour Room (2021)
Loved the end credits
The movie should have had the spirit of the end credits- it was dark and did not focus on the art and sunny personality that was the main attraction of this amazing personality- a shame.
