Period drama list Q - Z

~A Room with a View 1985~

A scrumptious little film. Swoon-worthy Italian landscapes and architecture, an absolutely adorable Helena Bonham-Carter, Dame Maggie and Dame Judi, ravishingly beautiful music, gorgeous Edwardian costumes, oh, and an abundance of good-looking young men. What more could you ask for in a period drama? The only thing marring this delightful movie is that infamous bathing scene, which I always scrupulously avoid when watching A Room with a View. I really don't want to see Simon Callow naked, or any of the other actors in that scene, for that matter. *** YT ff

~South Solitary~ 

A quietly beautiful film that will reward the patient viewer. South Solitary could have benefited from being half an hour shorter, but it is still more than worth sitting through. The film ends on a beautiful, uplifting note. Oh, and Tolkien fans will get a kick out of seeing Lord of the Rings alumni Miranda Otto (Eowyn) and Marton Csokas (Celeborn) reunited here. :-)
