Gretel & Hansel (2020)
I'm amazed
Gretel and Hansel is thrilling parts of my palette that haven't been activated since Ingmar Bergman.
Valmont (1989)
Sublime. If you're into sublimity.
The story of Liaisons Dangereuses has been told several times on film. Since '89 there have been no less than 3 versions. The gourmet, the fast food, and the junk food. Valmont is the gourmet. Some people don't like subtlety, so try the Malkovich or Ryan Philippe versions. This one has me enthralled from start to finish. Annette Bening and Colin Firth are at the top of their game. Milos Forman shows his absolute mastery here. I couldn't recommend a film more enthusiasticly.
The White Queen (2013)
Highly Entertaining
Being a fan of English history (particularly Tudor history) I am very glad for this glimpse into the generation that laid the groundwork for that most infamous dynasty! As I'm not a bonafide historian I viewed this series without the hindrance of "aw jeez! That didn't happen like that! Come on, Philippa Gregory!" -style outrage or annoyance. (I did cringe over The Other Boleyn Girl.) For me The White Queen was a thrilling story which introduced me to many key historic figures. A wonderful series which has done the most a series can do, IMHO - it fed the flame of interest sending me back again and again to Wikipedia and on to explore further resources! Bravo!
