Loading ...Notes on a Scandal - Portrait of Loneliness
Fox has released beautiful Featurette about Notes on a Scandal, with interviews with Judi Dench, Cate Blanchette and Bill Nighy, and clips from the film. Check also their excellent Blogs on a Scandal blog for news about the film.
And while we are at it, the New York premiere of this film was yesterday.
This is London reviews it with 4 out of 5:
Nighy is as convincing as ever as her kindly unsuspecting husband who finally explodes with pent-up fury.
And read this : LEGEND LAUREN JOINS BILL FOR PREMIERE OF HIS NEW FLICK. Not because it’s a great piece of writing, but because of the touching picture of Bill and Lauren Bacall.
Bazblog @ Dailymail.co.uk has some good things to say too:
“Three blocks away at the Music Box on 45th Street another Brit on Broadway is having the time of his life. Bill Nighy, best known as the sad rocker in Love Actually and the scary Davy Jones in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie Dead Man’s Chest, is the leading man, opposite Julianne Moore, in David Hare’s great new play The Vertical Hour which has been beautifully directed by Sam Mendes.
It’s an exhilarating exploration of personal and political responsibility and, of course, the subject at the heart of Hare’s drama is the war in Iraq. It’s the most gripping play I’ve seen on either side of the Atlantic this year. But I’ve always felt that plays about ideas never work unless you’ve got a first class cast to translate the dramatist’s arguments.
But not every play has Nighy,who, by the way, is making his Broadway debut. Every line he utters hits its mark in an effortless style that’s glorious to behold. Nighy’s already on the way to becoming a national treasure in the UK. Well, The Vertical Hour will make him a mega star in America.
Watching Blanchett and Dench, two actresses at the top of their considerable form, is astonishing. When they’re in a scene together you hold your breath and pray it won’t end. It’s one of those rare, dream movie pairings that create real sparks to come out of the screen. That Nighy can hold his own with those two is an indication, if any were needed, of what a true master of his craft he is.”
The time is Nighy indeed.
