Nora (2000)
An insight into a writers mind
I was lucky enough to see this at a small time premiere in Sydney and Ewan turned up as he is out here making some big time sci-fi movie. Anyway my first reaction to this movie was that I thought that it moved with a pace that was too disjointed and that we were confronted with too much intimate detail before we had a chance to understand anything about the characters. Afterwards we heard from Ewan and from his expressions of how it was a glimpse at a life not a tale and how that we are supposed to just capture moments in what was a very complex and unique relationship that Joyce had with nora that on further thought I have come to see more into what the film was trying to do so on second viewing I was able to understand I suppose more of the workings of the mind that was Joyce I highly recommend this film to anyone with a passion not only for Joyce's work but anyone who has an interest in the personal life of a creative mind. Watch it twice for even more.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (1979)
Excellent
Having read most of John Le Carre's books I found this portrayal of his most famous and unique character George Smiley absolutely fantastic and not to be missed. I also thought the support roles were excellent too. A lot of well known British faces in the cast. Ian Richardson of course has to be involved in any British political drama and in this he plays the role he always plays - just brilliant 10/10
