REVIEW |
| Although it will doubtless find detractors
among fans of both Evelyn Waugh's novel and the 1981
PBS miniseries, Julian Jarrold's Brideshead Revisited
succeeds handily on its own terms. Jarrold's movie
is a kindred spirit, stripped of voiceover and other
markers of literary bona fides. It's a movie of its
own, not merely an attempt to cram as much of its
source as possible within the confines of a theatrical
feature. It is an evocative story of forbidden love
and the loss of innocence set in the pre-WWII era.
In the film, Charles Ryder becomes entranced with
the noble Marchmain family, first through the charming
and provocative Sebastian Flyte, and then his sophisticated
sister, Julia. The rise and fall of Charles' infatuations
reflect the decline of a decadent era in England between
the wars. Stars Emma Thompson |

REVIEW |
| Documentary following the lives of four
teenagers-a jock, the popular girl, the artsy girl
and the geek-in one small town in Indiana through
their senior year of high school. We see the insecurities,
the cliques, the jealousies, the first loves and heartbreaks,
and the struggle to make profound decisions about
the future. Filming daily for ten months, filmmaker
Nanette Burstein developed a deep understanding of
her subjects. The result is a film that goes beyond
the enduring stereotypes of high school to render
complex young people trying to find their way into
adulthood. Hannah Bailey is smart and beautiful, but
a misfit in her high school. She is a liberal, atheist
living in a traditional, Christian, conservative town
and dreams of moving to California after graduation.
Colin Clemens is the star of the high school basketball
team-and in Indiana, basketball is everything. Colin
is under enormous pressure this year playing not only
to make his town, his school, and his father proud,
but for a college scholarship. Jake Tusing is considered
to be a nerd in high school. Though quite funny and
charming one-on-one, he is painfully shy in group
situations and crushed with self-doubt. In his senior
year he vows that nothing will stand in the way of
him finding a girlfriend. Megan Krizmanich is the
student council Vice President and the youngest daughter
of a prominent local surgeon, anxiously awaiting word
from Notre Dame University admissions. Wealthy, pretty,
smart and popular, she rules her high school-just
don't get on her bad side. When Megan's peers challenge
her authority, she can't help but take action, even
if it means risking her future. Mitch Reinholdt is
an attractive and charming Varsity basketball jock
with a soft side. When he puts his social status on
the line, avoiding his popular friends for dates with
artsy Hannah Bailey, he strains to maintain his reputation
while discovering a new side of himself. |
