Valkyrie Talent
Valkyrie Talent: Tom Cruise, Bill Nighy, Terence Stamp, Tom Wilkinson, Clarice van Houten, Kenneth Branagh, David Bamber, Thomas Kretschmann, Eddie Izzard. Date of review: Thursday 22nd January, 2009 Director: Bryan Singer Duration: 122 minutes Classification: M We rate it: 2 and a half stars. Valkyrie has been widely billed as the first of Tom Cruise’s steps back into the A-list stratosphere. After all the couch-jumping, manager-firing, studio-hopping, Scientology-spouting weirdness, Tom has apparently decided to get his career back on track (despite the fact that it is arguably in quite good shape, with the star sporting a recent Golden Globe nomination for his quite hilarious turn in Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder). Valkyrie is indeed a very serious and sombre film, and despite the fact that it’s backed by a healthy budget, it is a film that is all about performances, so with all of that in mind, it does seem like a decent choice for an actor bent on returning to centre stage. Valkyrie is one of many recent films that tells a story about World War II as a good old espionage thriller, replete with the odd reflection upon some of our contemporary world’s conflicts. The film’s plot revolves around one of the numerous attempts that Germans army officers made to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Anyone who knows his or her history knows that there were quite a few attempts to kill the Nazi leader, but it’s of course also a widely known fact that Hitler survived all of those attempts, and the he suicided when the Allied victory became apparent.

Another, More Sinister Reality Jbftv
‘Another, More Sinister Reality’ (D.W., 1967): Class, Youth and Psychopathology from Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960) to Endless Night (1972) As has been argued elsewhere, the ‘“working class realism’ (Hill, 1986: 2) that started with Room at the Top (1959) emerged shortly after Hammer’s Curse of Frankenstein (1957), and had a strong relationship to horror from the start (Jancovich, forthcoming). In fact, key directors of working class realism experimented with horror; and both Clayton and Reisz followed their breakthrough films (Room at the Top and Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, 1960) with horror projects (The Innocents, 1961, and Night Must Fall, 1964). As early as 1963, then, reviews were claiming: While it would be early to proclaim that realism is dead in the new British cinema, it is noticeable that during the last year or so many of our newer directors have shown signs that they no longer find it enough. Mr. Jack Clayton has moved from Room at the Top to The Innocents. Mr. Tony Richardson from Look Back in Anger to Tom Jones, and the most notable recent recruits to the feature film [have started] by firmly throwing realism out of the window ... (Anona, 1963) If some filmmakers turned to horror due to a dissatisfaction with realism – ‘they no longer find it enough’ – the nature of this dissatisfaction explains the choice of horror as an alternative. In his discussion of working class realism, John Hill identifies a tension between description and narration, or between the depiction of the objective environments within which characters were located and the subjective worlds of those characters (Hill, 1986).
