(drama)
The love which binds mother and daughter — seen through the prism of one mother's life as it crests with optimism, navigates a turning point, and ebbs to its close. Overcome by the power of memory, Ann Lord reveals a long-held secret to her concerned daughters; Constance, a content wife and mother, and Nina, a restless single woman. Both are bedside when Ann calls out for the man she loved more than any other. But who is this "Harris," wonder her daughters, and what is he to our mother? While Constance and Nina try to take stock of Ann's life and their own lives, their mother is tended to by a night nurse as she journeys in her mind back to a summer weekend some fifty years before, when she was Ann Grant, a young woman who has come from New York City to be maid of honor at the high-society Newport wedding of her dearest friend from college, Lila Wittenborn. The bride-to-be is jittery, and turns to her maid of honor rather than her own mother for support. Ann stays close to her friend, yet is even closer to Lila's irrepressible brother Buddy. Unexpected feelings surge forth once Ann meets wedding guest Harris Arden, a lifelong friend and intimate of the Wittenborn family. Ann's love for Harris will change her life, and those of her daughters, forever.

I went to see "Night" because of the cast. I see ido a "Norman
's Room" for that reason - the film offers Diane Keaton, Leonardo De Caprio
and, also, Meryl Streep - and has loved every minute of it. The same
"The Notebook" even though it was chicken flit-lite. And my feeling was
, full-featured performances by Vanessa Redgrave, Meryl Streep
, Patrick Wilson and Glenn Close could be at least as good.
On the contrary, I find sometimes even the greatest actors can not overcome
trite, simplistic and - once - really offensive material.
Now I had no problem with the way the film was structured.
I really enjoy movies that cut back and forth in time to tell a story so long ...

Vanessa's character on his deathbed and recalling a past event was

That "past mistake" was not doing anything to clarify the matter. In fact,
makes it seem as meaning more funny "boy meets girl, girl gets
boy, girl loses boy" fashion, and in the most incredible, cliches,
led astray possible.
And from here be spoilers, so take this into account if they continue
reading.
First, Claire Danes was brutally miscast. Not only
not even begin to resemble Vanessa Redgrave as a young woman, who has
away from the chops to act. Do not get me wrong,
can be good in the proper role - not just this one. And Patrick Wilson
was miscast, although it has the acting chops to almost pull it off. There were

confused - and not the object of sexual attraction, a
all, it is a bit too WASP-y para que. Hugh Dancy? A note - "I am a drunk
tortured and wait until you find out why. "And the" why "(I am a private matter
in a sexually repressed world, so I have to drink in excess
and make a fool of myself in front of the whole world that I know) was
so offensive to me and how he died (as he knew because he
that's the only thing that can happen to a wimp in the fifties) to
absurd, wrong, and correctly, I almost threw candy to my
screen.
As regards the modern part between Toni Collette and her sister,
his fear of commitment, his jealousy of his sister the "perfect life", wondering if her sister
has made the right decisions, her pregnancy and her boyfriend
too perfect (which actually could have been more interesting and meaningful if
played by Patrick Wilson, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach
could have been more interesting Harris Given its dreamy eyes) -
anyway, all this is more abstract in the 70'sy 80's. And in much greater depth
. Do we really have to be submitted once again, and as if all
was sweet and momentous?
And if that were not enough, Meryl Streep does not even appear until the last ten
minutes of the film, all on the old lady makeup that hides many of its
facial expressions. She is still good, but only because she is Meryl, Meryl and
can find a way to draw even more gracious in the framework of dialogue
heavier makeup.
hence, to put it simply, this film has all the cliches in the "reality
significant message" movie book, and adds some who really had no business
Trotter are out once again. A two-hour and laced with
"Lifetime Movie-of-the-week" music that is guaranteed to rub you raw,
is a complete failure in both "significant" and " moviemaking "
aspects. I give "3" only by Meryl and Vanessa.
Now, if everything that require his films was twadd, please
my comments about "Night" by hand and the best moment of his life.
But if you want a really meaningful experience is served by major
actors and filmmakers who know what to do with a simple story about life and death
and all the nonsense that brings, rent "Norman & # 39; s Room "and
find out what really is a great acting.
In mid-Lajos Koltai "Night," a woman on his deathbed called
a figure in his hallucination: "Can you tell me where my life
went? "The line could be embarrassingly theatrical, but the woman
speaking is Vanessa Redgrave, who delivered with complete simplicity, and the question
tears your heart.
Again and again, the film based on Susan Minot's novel skirts
sentimentality and usually keeps the attention,
offers admirable performances, and engenders emotional involvement as
few recent films have. With only six months of last year, now there are two
memorable and meaningful, worthwhile films in cinemas, others
of course, being the Sarah Polley of "State of His." Hollywood
could have turned out "Night" a stain on celebrity vehicle with his two
pairs of real-life mothers and daughters - Vanessa Redgrave and Natasha Richardson
, and Meryl Streep and Mamie gummer. Richardson is Redgrave
daughter in the film (with a sister played by Tony Collette), and
Gumma plays Streep minor himself, while the young Redgrave
incarnation is Claire Danes. Add
Glenn Close, Eileen Atkins, Hugh Dancy, Patrick Wilson, and a large cast
- yes, could have become a platform for multiple stars.
Instead, Koltai - the brilliant filmmaker Hungarian
"Mephisto" and director of "Fateless" - created a subtle
joint work with a "continental air," story takes place in a society of high
Newport environment, in the days before a wedding
that is fraught with problems.
lost connections, wrong options, and the performance of duty
social and family pressures present a good soap opera, but the quality of
writing, directing Koltai, selfless and acting to raise "Night" so
above that level, in the rarified air of English, French (and a few
americas) family sagas of a century before its contemporary
.
complex relationships between mothers and daughters, between friends and lovers
, with the addition of a difficult triangle
all come across clearly, understandably, captivatingly. Real individual
are woven into a symphony.
And yet, with all this emphasis on joint and selfless
performances, the stars of "Night" still shine through, Redgrave, Richardson
, Gumma (the new and exciting discovery, looking vaguely like her mother
, but a very different actress), the Danes carry the bulk of the burden
- Until Streep appears in the final moments and, of course, the
steals show. Dancy and Wilson are well worth the price of admission.
As with "Away from Her," "Night" stays with you in depth, inviting a
re-think its history and characters, and re-experience the emotions
posed. In two hours, the film goes a bit long, but the way it keeps you at a later date
are welcome among the many films that are very cold
before their popcorn.
