Everyone's Gone To The Movies

The fine weekend continues apace. We're off to Les Miserables on celluloid in just a few minutes. More later, mayhap.

2316

Lots of good things to say about our first movie of the year. Not quite as good as the real thing, but as close as you're likely to get on film. Great performances abounded, with Jackman surely up for an Oscar. Interesting to see so much use of extreme close up - some gains in subtlety of charactersation, compared to the stage, as a result. Also a wonderfully panoramic sense of French life, especially that of Paris, in the nineteenth century.

Enjoyed the sprawling quality of it all.
