Movie: Stage Beauty

[thalia_seawood]

I finally managed to see "Stage Beauty" yesterday which I had missed on the Film Festival.
What can I say: I enjoyed it so much that I've already ordered it from amazon.co.uk (where it's a lot cheaper than on amazon.de).

In case you've never heard of this movie before, here's the summary of the International Movie Database:

Set in the 1660's at

Oh wow, tausend Dank fuer die Rezension. I haven't heard of that film and blimey, the costumes don't look too bad. (1660s is one of my main specialities in costume history). I've already ordered the DVD as well. :-)

'Tis a good movie, isn't it? I'm all about the confused!Ned/Maria...

Ah, you've seen it too!

Yeah, I like it a lot; it's one of the few movies where I'm quite happy with a het romance. I think it's because it's such a non-stereotypical relationship. They are also both interesting characters with strengths and weaknesses - and they have chemistry! What more do I need? *smile*

Could I bribe you into writing Stage Beauty fanfiction by flattering my eyelashes? *g*

Sounds interesting... Have read about it last week and thought this might be a movie worth watching. And great, you have already ordered it. In case I will miss it at cinema, we could watch it together on DVD...! ;-)

It's definitely an interesting movie. Nothing is quite as it seems.
When I saw it in the cinema, I was a bit shocked at times, because nowadays it seems we're much more well-behaved. *g* But yes, I liked the shocking aspects, too especially.
I also realised that this is one of the movies that get better when I think about it. It hasn't faded yet, instead its impression gets stronger. Am very happy to have the DVD by now.
