"This early full-length play put a young Tennessee Williams' passion for social justice in the spotlight. "Haunting, searing, unforgettable" ―London Herald In early 1998, sixty years after it was written, one of Tennessee Williams' first full-length plays, Not About Nightingales, was premiered by Britain's Royal National Theatre and was immediately hailed as "one of the most remarkable theatrical discoveries of the last quarter century ( ..."

"Richard Gere and Vanessa Redgrave star in Academy Award-winning director John Schlesinger's critically acclaimed film about American GI's in Britain during World War II. From early 1942 until D-Day, several million Americans landed in Britain on their way to fight at the European front. To the war-weary British, many of these troops were "overpaid, oversexed and over here." But despite the resentment, many memorable friendships develop ..."
"So romantic and haunting is Déja Vu's premise, it cries out for a director with more magic than Henry Jaglom can muster. Just before a long-engaged woman (Victoria Foyt, Jaglom's collaborator and second wife) slips into a serviceable marriage with a nice, if rather dull, guy (Michael Brandon), a chance encounter with an older Frenchwoman--a ghost?--derails her. After confiding memories of a dead-ended World War II love affair, the ..."
"Wiedersehen in Howards End ist E.M. Fosters außergewöhnlich subtile Geschichte über die verschlungenen Pfade der Privilegierten und über die, die sie verachten -- und über zwei bemerkenswerte Frauen, die über Klassenunterschiede hinweg sehen können. Dieser Film von James Ivory (Zimmer mit Aussicht, Was vom Tage übrigblieb) ist dramatisch und tragisch, aber auch überraschend lustig. Wiedersehen in Howards End konzentriert sich auf zwei u ..."
"Over a hundred years after his death, Richard Wagner remains an enigma. His was a rags-to-riches saga with a fairy tale ending. He was loved, yet hated; admired, yet despised. He was a heroic villian who was worshipped and whose fame and exploits were the gossip of Europe. Above all, he was an incurable romantic whose affair with Liszt's illegitimate daughter rivals that of Romeo and Juliet. But he was also a dangerous political revolut ..."
"Gary Oldman (Hannibal) and Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2) star in this stunning true story about a long-term love affair that ends with a shocking murder-suicide. Told in "sizzling flashbacks and forwards" (Elle), this Golden Globe-nominated*, "sharp, pithy, exuberant and unflinching film" (The Hollywood Reporter) from director Stephen Frears (Dirty Pretty Things)and writer Alan Bennett (The Madness of King George) "mesmerizes you, holdin ..."
"Ein großer Gesteinsbrocken knallt auf die Erde und viele Menschen sterben. Das war es auch schon. Und das meiste davon war bereits in der Vorschau zu sehen. Der alte Meister des Katastrophenfilms, Irvin Allen (Das Poseidon Inferno, Erdbeben), hätte die Hauptrolle dieses Films an Charlton Heston übergeben und mit ihm aus diesem Streifen einen Kitsch-Klassiker des Genres kreiert. Die steife, viel zu ernsthafte Inszenierung von Regisseurin ..."

"A remarkable cast lends emotional richness to The Gathering Storm, an HBO movie about the life of Winston Churchill just prior to the onset of World War II. Faced with bankruptcy, his career in decline, Churchill (Albert Finney) is beset with depression until the impending danger of German rearmament--along with the British government's reluctance to recognize the threat of Hitler--gives him a cause that brings him back to energet ..."
"Wilde could easily have been nothing more than another well-dressed literary film from the British costume drama stable, but thanks to a richly textured performance from Stephen Fry in the title role, it becomes something deeper--a moving study of how the conflict between individual desires and social expectations can ruin lives. Oscar Wilde's writing may be justifiably legendary for its sly, barbed wit, but Wilde the film is far from a ..."
