The Importance of Being Earnest

Based on Oscar Wilde’s play, this is a film by Oliver Parker who has taken liberties with the source material: he’s cut, pasted, re-arranged and added. However, “The Importance…” remains a witty piece of writing faithful to Wilde’s irreverent spirit (if not always to the letter). Dialogues are rich in humour and Judi Dench as Lady Bracknell is simply perfect.

Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull story

"Tristram Shandy: A cock and bull story" is an excellent movie directed by English director Michael Winterbottom. Sterne's originality stems from his surreal, structureless, nonlinear narrative, the leaping from subject to subject, in short, "the order of the disorder". The movie is based on the premise that Tristam Shandy is an "unfilmable" story, maybe because it seems to be an "unreadable" book: if you take it piece by piece, it is an utter chaos, but once the pieces drop into place, it reveals unification and everything makes sense. Winterbottom superbly works the "movie within a movie" resource, creating a fictional "backstage" of the film with the same digressions present in the book. Steve Coogan's performance as Tristram Shandy/Steve Coogan is absolutely compelling.
