LGBT History Month Screening – THE FAVOURITE (15) – 2018 Ireland/UK/USA 119 mins

Director: Yorgos Lanthimos
Stars: Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz

While her armies war with France, Queen Anne’s courtiers are more interested in satisfying the whims of their frail monarch (Colman). Lady Sarah Churchill (Weisz) is firmly ensconced as the queen’s favourite, but her young cousin Abigail (Stone) is upwardly mobile. Lanthimos (The Lobster) and his fantastic cast ensure that this is no typical period drama, revelling in the smut, scandal and perversity of an era where power could not be separated from personality.

My Cousin Rachel (2017 UK/USA) Cert. 12A

fourth screening at DLC

Director: Roger Michell         
Stars: Sam Claflin, Rachel Weisz, Holliday Grainger, Iain Glen 

A fine British cast lead this adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s 1951 tale of a young man plotting revenge against his mysterious, beautiful cousin. 

Du Maurier’s books were already popular with Hollywood (‘Rebecca’, ‘Jamaica Inn’, ‘Frenchman’s Creek’) and ‘My Cousin Rachel’ was moved to the big screen almost as soon as it was published, in 1952, with Olivia de Havilland and Richard Burton in the lead roles.

Phillip (Claflin) has been orphaned at an early age, with his older cousin Ambrose becoming his guardian.  He suspects Ambrose’s wife Rachel (eponymously played by Rachel Weisz) of poisoning Ambrose and when the widow turns up at the Cornish family home he is deeply suspicious.

 

 

 

 

However, he quickly falls under her spell.  But if his suspicions were right, does the same fate await him?

 

 

 

As well as a more modern sensibility from director and screenwriter Michell (Notting Hill, Enduring Love, Le Weekend), this gripping new production also features gorgeous Devon and Florence locations.
 

 

 

Here is a link to (one of the many) recent reviews in the The Guardian, which includes a link to the trailer.  We are also linking to an earlier article in The Telegraph highlighting the beneficial side effect of having your property used as a film location.

Denial (2016 UK/USA) Cert. 12A

Extra screening to meet demand
Director: Mick Jackson
Stars: Rachel Weisz, Tom Wilkinson, Timothy Spall

American historian Deborah Lipstadt is shocked when British academic David Irving interrupts her lecture – and her professional future is threatened when she is the target of his libel suit.

 

With the burden of proof upon her, Lipstadt’s legal team, led by Anthony Julius QC (Scott), must demonstrate that Irving knowingly obscured evidence of the Holocaust.

 

 

Weisz and Spall both excel as the stubborn intellectuals, with Irving’s arrogance and self-deception especially showing Spall at the height of his powers.

 

 

Adapted by David Hare from Lipstadt’s book “History on Trial”, this is “One of the most powerful and riveting courtroom dramas ever made” (New York Observer).

 

Here are links to two articles about the film from The Guardian: the recent Review accompanying the UK release and an earlier piece by David Hare, written at the time of the Toronto International Film Festival premiere, on the issues he faced in bringing Lipstadt’s book to the big screen.

 

The review includes a link to the (US) Trailer, which can also be seen below [fvplayer src=”https://youtu.be/yH7ktvUWaYo”]
