e Shadowlands Odeon Cinenla

ichard Attenborough's Shadowlands has remarkable pedigree. Originally a successful play, this true story centres around the unlikely, passionate, but ultimately doomed love affair of C.S. Lewis (played by Anthony Hopkinsland the RAmerican poet Joy Gresham (Deborah Winger). Not only is the love interest sensitive and revealing, the characters themselves are very strong. Lewis, who enlightened a thousand childhoods with his Namia stories, lost his mother at nine, and, despite the tenderness and magic of his books, was, at 50, a staid and insensitive Oxford bachelor, his great mind unchallenged by the routine of college and religious life. Gresham, on the other hand was a Jewish, communist, atheist, American feminist poet (honest!) who moved to London with her son after being estranged by her alcoholic husband. The meshing of these incredibly different personalities has obvious potential, and Shadowlands succeeds in telling this love story gently but with vigour. That is to say it thankfully lacks the crash and bang of, for example, Pretty Woman without losing any emotional punch. All the appropriate heart strings are pulled, but in a very realistic manner, adding so much more power to the story than a "Hollywood" approach would. This is a testament to the direction of Attenborough and the amazing performances of Winger and Hopkins. Despite the occasional clumsy metaphor, the overall mood of this film is utterly convincing, with Hopkins, particularly, to be singled out for praise; this kind of work MUST merit an oscar. n Any complaints? Well, yes. Anyone who goes to this film hoping to rediscover the magic and mystery of Narnia will be disappointed. Put simply, this film does not consider the subject matter of Lewis's books, nor the way he approached writing them, and this seems a pity. This is one of England's greatest love stories and it affected Lewis's work - not to make more of the connection between his writing and the love of his life seems a genuine waste. But to be honest, I'm picking holes in a stunningly powerful film. Shadowlands is as moving and engaging as any of Lewis' famous books. And there's the ultimate satisfaction of knowing it's true.
