best picture I've seen this year

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago

This movie covers politics, ethnicity, gender biases and a love story. It leaves you thinking long after the movie is over. The actors are wonderful. Every person fits and it wouldn't be the same if any is eliminated. Not all movies can claim that. I fell in love with each one.

Screen play and Notes to DVD Yes by Sally Potter

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago

These notes are fascinating and explain the background to making the DVD, and how it was shot, along with the entire script of the film. the film itself is magnificent, and I think should be purchased to be seen first. The dialogue is liambic pentameters, but the poetry rarely intrudes and always adds an intensity to the speech. Having the script helps as some part of the film are spoken very softly, especially the commentary from a cleaner who acts as a Greek Chrous. The script was begun the day after 9/11 and Sally wished to say something positive. She has produced a witty, highly political, both in the international and domestic arena, touching love story, with beautiful shots. Where these are and how they were taken, especially the clever variety of angle shots and CCTV footage is explained in the notes, and the rationale behind it. Anyone who wishes to buy the DVD must be careful as I bought a number for friends but they were area 1 and could not be played in the UK. The book is the next best thing, but its full impact comes as an adjunct to the film.
