EMILY @ 2022 CUNARD BRITISH FILM FESTIVAL

 

[usr 4]

Starring Emma Mackey, EMILY is the highly entertaining back story of Emily Brönte. Emma Mackey is the actress who looks disarmingly like the actress, Margo Robbie (Margo Robbie, as recently seen in the movie AMSTERDAM).
 
EMILY provides classic fictional gothic storytelling drama, especially about female life and female conflict, with forbidden love, and her doomed love interest, the setting is 1840s English patriarchal society, with conflict between sisters and their grieving, plus female repression by the patriarchy..
 

 
We discover the wonderfully fictionalised/dramatised life and times of writer Emily Brönte, whilst her (first and only) classic novel “Wuthering Heights” was being written between October 1845 and June 1846, and was then first published in December 1847 under her pen name and pseudonym “Ellis Bell”.
 
Always introverted, she becomes the rebel and often the awkward misfit, her incredible journey rapidly unfolds when clergyman William Weightman is assigned to provide Emily Brontë with French Language lessons, a forbidden intimate relationship begins. Recommended.

HOLLYWOOD CRISIS OF IDENTITY – SO WHICH CELEBRITY DO YOU LOOK LIKE

 

 

Published by Lynn Belvedere

Once we were old enough, my parents took the whole family to the Sydney CBD cinemas every week. Thus began a lifetime interest, in going to the cinema every week, and became a passionate cinephile by watching all those very heavily edited ''Australian Film Censorship Board'' true cinéaste versions of brand new release ''Cinematograph Films''. Greater Union always gave my father (who worked in Cinema Distribution Exhibition) guest double movie passes, to every first-night ''red carpet Opening Night'' at The State Theatre Cinema at 49 Market Street. Up until his death, my dad always received ''two house seats'' for every Opening Night performance events at the Theatre Royal SYDNEY and at Her Majesty's Theatre SYDNEY. As a child, when mum choose not to go, I often went with him, to those live performance events. As a young child, I remember being taken for each new show, at both The New Theatre at 60 Sussex Street, and the Phillip Street Theatre when located at 150 Elizabeth Street, and for classical music concerts at Sydney Town Hall. = = = ★★★★★ = = = Being happy is a choice, and I have always viewed my life, as material ready be made into a series of amazing tentpole movies. My New Years Resolution is kept every year: ''Get to see/review five new live theatre shows each week, and get to see/review six new cinema movies each week'', plus is one of the Australian Cinema Pioneers, and apparently have seen far too much already, but always wanting to experience more and more each year. I am also able to do almost everything that I enjoy doing. Yes, I do have a great daytime job in I.T. as ''Software Design Project Manager'', PLUS each evening until quite late - - - Australian Cinematograph Films historical censorship consultant - product-placement consultant - mystery-shopper consultant - playwright, writer, author, director, producer, photographer, cinematographer, color-grader, subtitles proofreader - arts/ drama/ music/ film critic and judge, journalist, member FIPRESCI & FCCA & AFCA, member AACTA accredited film reviewer-critic-writer, accredited IMDB.COM critic-reviewer-author, projectionist, plus an innovative iconoclast - - - ★★★★★ LYNN BELVEDERE ★★★★★ - - - [usr 5] - - -
