  • Across Britain, Nature Is in Vogue, the Countryside Is the New Chic. The
    Across Britain, nature is in vogue, the countryside is the new chic. The vintage pastoral patterns of Cath Kidston, the bright floral designs and gentrified tweed of Joules, and the Hunter-welly clad urbanites clambering down from their Range Rovers boldly proclaim the rural as a middle- class fashion statement. A perceived ‘nature deficit’ has fuelled a new interest in all things rural, rustic and wholesome, as seen in the expansion of charitable organisations like the National Trust and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB). Membership of such associations are at an all-time high – in 2010, the number of RSPB members stood at more than double that of the three major political parties.1 Both now place new emphasis on family adventures in the outdoors; the new ‘natural playgrounds’ of the National Trust parallel the growing Forest School movement. In bookshops, ‘new nature writing’ dominates the shelves whilst window displays are full of bucolic book covers, nature lino prints, and matching floral tea towels. Essayists, anecdotal writers, prose-poets, and natural historians like Robert Macfarlane, Kathleen Jamie, Roger Deakin, and Helen MacDonald (to name but a few) call us back to the wild, opening our eyes to their landscapes (and ours) with beautiful and nostalgic evocations of what we are missing in the twenty-first century. Often, this nostalgia drives the authors backwards, to a lost landscape that is at once more remote and free of human interference (except that of the lonely poet). Sometimes it is conflicted: Jamie has criticised the romanticized stance of the ‘lone, enraptured male’ nature writer, with time and funds to conquer far-off Celtic fringes.2 Others argue that when the rural is eulogised, the urban becomes lamented.

    THE FACE OF AN ANGEL SYNOPSIS The brutal murder of a Bri1sh student in Tuscany leads to the trial and convic1on of her American flatmate and Italian boyfriend in controversial circumstances. The media feeding frenzy around the case aracts once successful, but now struggling filmmaker Thomas, to be commissioned to write a film - 'The Face of an Angel', based on a book by Simone Ford an American journalist who covered the case. From Rome they head to Siena to research the film. Thomas has recently separated from his wife in a bi=er divorce and leI his 9-year-old daughter in Los Angeles. This unravelling of his own life, and the dark mediaeval atmosphere surrounding the case, begins to drag him down into his own personal hell.

This is a beau1ful, unrequited love, where she acts as a guide to his own heart. He comes to realise the most important thing in his life is not solving an unsolvable crime, or wri1ng the film, but returning to the daughter he has leI behind. | THE FACE OF AN ANGEL | 1 SHEET | 15.10.2013 | 1!5 THE FACE OF AN ANGEL CAST DANIEL BRÜHL KATE BECKINSALE In 2003 Daniel Brühl took the leading role in the box office smash Good English actress Kate Beckinsale is revealing herself to be one of films’ Bye Lenin!, which became one of Germany’s biggest box office hits of all most versale and charismac actresses.

A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him.

Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.
