The Bookshop (2017)
7/10
Books, The Best Weapons in the World
5 June 2018
Books, The Best Weapons in the World. And they're a weapon of mass destruction under Isabel Coixet's direction in "The Bookshop". Set in late 50's England, this is one woman's battle to open a bookshop. Emily Mortimers' Florence Green is pitted against the towns Social Matriarch, Violet Gamart, played by Oscar nominee Patricia Clarkson. The Bookshop is based on Penelope Fitzgerald's novel and narrated from her point of view as a child in this charming seaside Village. Award winning British Character actor, Bill Nighy steals every scene he's in. So many books, so little time.
