Up on the Roof (2022)
BRILLIANT & Charming RomCom - A Delight
This film will charm everyone. Engaging, fun, funny. Lovely cinematography . Fantastic sound track to the lesser known vistas of London. Convincing and sweet love story . Fell in Love with Piotr Adamczyk ( Polish but you wouldn't know it from his accent) who is also a very fine and nuanced actor and should really be a star internationally .
Nathaniel Parker and Deborah Findley are also obviously fab. This is a film that feels true and should be commercially successful a la Richard Curtis style . Deserves to be out everywhere. It naturally feels like a family or couple film. Sweet but interesting . A great flick .
Lisa Leilani ( actress and producer )has done a brilliant Job!.
Really want to know what the UN shazzamble sound track written for the film is .
It is not yet out ?
Chromophobia (2005)
excellent film
So far only seen at Cambridge /Oxford special showings.
A visually distinctive, intelligent, beautifully scripted, classy contemporary drama.
Marcus, a successful lawyer (Damian Lewis) is the son of a High Court Judge (Ian Holm) now married to a dog-&-garden-obsessed - though emotionally repressed wife, (Harriet Walter). Gloria - an immigrant, single mum and Hep C suffering sex worker is played by Penelope Cruz - who finds herself aggressively resisting the tentative aid of a fragile social services worker, (Rhys Ifans). Marcus's wife, Iona (Kristin Scott Thomas) is a privileged, sexually frustrated, shoppaholic mother who becomes perturbed by her young son's relationship with his godfather, (Ralph Fiennes). At work, Marcus unwittingly discovers a momentous secret - ripe for exploitation by his old friend Trent (Ben Chaplin), a struggling investigative journalist, desperately in need of a break.
The stories interweave with others and the film explores the psychology, dynamics and value systems of modern city life. Each character is forced to confront their lives and their disengaged flawed lives they inhabit.
A brilliant cast all acting their socks off, the movie is a thought provoking visual feast. This is a thinking, feeling emotional/ psychological film. Gripping and sumptuous. It is a contemporary and challenging.
