The Dressmaker

A starry cast (Kate Winslet, Liam Hemsworth, Judy Davis) assemble for director Jocelyn Moorhouse’s adaptation of the novel by Rosalie Ham. Winslet stars as Tilly, the dressmaker of the title, who returns home to 1950’s Australia to reconcile with her mother (Davis). She falls in love with Teddy (Hemsworth) and, using her skills, styles the women of the town and gets revenge on people who had previously done her wrong.

It looks completely and utterly lovely…like a sartorial Chocolate (2000).

True Romance

There is a scene in this film, between Christopher Walken (as a Sicilian mafia hitman) and Dennis Hopper (as errant young lad Christian Slater’s otherwise absent father) in which they discuss the ethnic history of the people of Sicily. It’s a masterpiece of screen dialogue (from writer Quentin Tarantino. Tony Scott directed), with barely concealed menace, but also respect between the two men. Park Circus are giving this a welcome re-showing at key cities around the UK.
