THE MEDDLER

It’s curious that, generally speaking, actors and actresses are awarded Oscars for excelling in dramatic roles and not comedies and the like. Yul Brynner got one for his part in a musical and Audrey Hepburn won hers for a rom/com, but Hollywood tends to take itself far too seriously to dole out baubles to anything that might not be seen as of the utmost importance to the world. Which is a pity, because Susan Sarandon is superb in this, a movie that is far more substantial than just the sum of its scattered parts. Marnie is widowed, with a daughter Lori (Rose Byrne) making her own way as a writer in film and TV. She has moved from New Jersey to the sunshine of LA, but finds that there is a hole in her life that she cannot fill. To Lori she is a pest, calling constantly and overstepping the line in their mother/daughter relationship. As a woman of a certain age, Marnie is lonely, but writer/director Lorene Scafaria does not make her out to be concerned only with finding another man. Instead, Marnie seeks activities and involvements that will satisfy her energy, enthusiasm and willingness to give. It is around this matter that the screenplay tends to come unstuck, as Marnie lurches from one not-entirely-believable scenario to the next. She sets a black guy whom she meets at an Apple shop on a pathway to becoming a lawyer, she bankrolls a lesbian wedding and, after a clunky setup, finds herself in a car with a Screening at the Regent Cinema in bloke who might be a serial killer. Murwillumbah during these school holidays: In short, there is a lot of standard schlock thrown into the mix, but FINDING DORY the movie, which is too long by a ICE AGE: good fifteen minutes, rises above COLLISION COURSE it all thanks to the captivating THE BFG Sarandon who can cry on a plane QUEEN OF THE DESERT and eat a fried egg like nobody’s NOW YOU SEE ME 2 business. Byrne and JK Simmons, For session times as a nice-guy suitor who keeps check our website chooks, both pass muster, as you’d www.cinemaregent.com expect, and the end result is a or call us 6672 8265 film that is impossible not to be GOD WILLING warmed by.

Atheists and believers are poles apart, but there is one thing that they have in common – none of them knows for good and certain if they’re right. As a prominent heart surgeon in Rome, Tomasso (Marco Giallini) is pragmatic and curt, a man who knows what it means to not pull his punches. His life of wealth and privilege has been built on unchallenged certainties. When his son Andrea (Enrico Oetiker) announces that he intends abandoning his medical studies to join the priesthood, Tomasso is flabbergasted – to the father it is as ridiculous as wanting to be a bagpipe player. Edoardo Maria Falcone’s sweet-natured movie deals with Tomasso’s struggle to cope with what to him is incomprehensible. And on top of that, his neglected wife Carla (Laura Morante) decides that she has had enough of her station in life and moves into the maid’s room. The catalyst for such radical upheaval has arrived in the form of charismatic priest Don Pietro (Alessandro Gassman), who has had a profound influence on Andrea. Tomasso’s broadmindedness can only stretch so far – it’s always the case – and he employs a private investigator to get to the bottom of Don Pietro’s activities – why IS he receiving wads of money from a stranger on the street? The farcical episodes that follow are never quite foolish enough to diminish the themes of acceptance and self-empowerment – in one hilarious scene, Tomasso has to play the husband to his irate, put-upon hospital assistant – and the whole is held together by fine performances and a simplicity of delivery. The Eternal City is shot with a retro loving eye by cinematographer Tomasso Borgstrom and, just when you’re all cosy in the softly-softly debate between God and science, an incident shakes you out of your complacency and leads to a finale of intense emotional impact. If Falcone comes down on the side of the angels it is in an acceptable way that is neither didactic nor exclusive. A film of compassion and hope.
