This marks Michelle Pfeiffer's return to period romantic drama for the first time in 15 years. Not that I'm counting. Not that I'm counting down. The costumes here are by Consolata Boyle who was Oscar nominated recently for dressing Helen Mirren as The Queen. I've written about the film [ahem]... a few times.
In other TFE news...
I've updated both the review index (which you can always access from this blog's sidebars) and added a 2008 by grades page now that we're 5 months into the year. The Oscar predictions and the Actress Psychic contest will both be updated in June... and I hope to have a major relaunch of everything in July (I'm talking to web designers at the moment about how to streamline and make prettier, more user friendly). There will also (finally) be a new episode of the podcast this weekend, which will celebrate the US release of the Norwegian film Reprise.
Reprise is super. Best of the year thus far. It's actually a couple of years old but you know how foreign films take their sweet time arriving. I hope you will all give it a chance rather than seeing Iron Man a 4th time or Prince Caspian twice. Live a little.
And OK... this isn't such a teensy update anymore since I keep adding to this post. Here is the trailer for Woody Allen's newest film, Vicky Christina Barcelona. Enjoy. Anticipate. Comment. Ignore. The choice is always yours.
