Movie Review - Love and Friendship
There is always familiarity with Jane Austen. Whether it be the novels, BBC mini-series, modernised movies, the various webseries adapatations, or even Pride and Prejudice and Zombies there are always common factors – relationships between women, early feminism, sweeping romances, and quite often Regency clothing. Love and Friendship, the film adaptation of Austen’s Lady Susan has all of this, and yet is still a fresh and unfamiliar take on what should be old hat.
Movie Review - Rams
Reposted from RMITV’s In Review
Rams follows two middle-aged Icelandic sheep herders, and while one would assume that the title refers to their flock, it instead refers to the two brothers butting heads that are the central characters of this film. Winner of Un Certain Regard Prize at Cannes 2015, this beautifully shot film, written and directed by Grímur Hákonarson, tells the story of brothers Gummi and Kiddi finding companionship in isolation.
