Reviews

Chromophobia is a darkly comedic drama, set in contemporary London, featuring a host of stars including Penelope Cruz, Rhys Ifans, Damian Lewis, Kristin Scott Thomas, Ralph Fiennes and Ian Holm. Every family has its secrets... But what do you do when your wife Iona Aylesbury (Kristin Scott Thomas) can't tell the difference between a shrink and a shop, your eight year old son Orlando spray paints his rabbit's name on the walls to get attention, while his gay godfather, Stephen (Ralph Fiennes), lies half beaten to death in hospital. To make matters worse your boss is drawing you into a scam which could cost you your career, your father, Edward Aylesbury, has an illegitimate love child with his former mistress Gloria (Penélope Cruz), her social worker Colin (Rhys Ifans) can't help prying into her past and present, and finally your stepmother's (Harriet Walter) bond with her dogs is your best role model of a loving relationship. These are the dilemmas and secrets of Marcus Aylesbury (Damian Lewis).

Hidden treasure 14 April 2009
By Fredde
Format:DVD
One of those films that seems to have missed the media spotlight or was underrated at the time of release. A great film with a super cast.

Deer Hunt 4 May 2008
By izzy
Format:DVD
This is a beautiful film, very understated but the resonance stays with one for a long time. Emotionally gripping, superbly acted, it has two strands of storyline with no apparent connection between a lawyer (Damian Lewis) with a high-powered city firm and a call girl (Penelope Cruz) dying of cancer, and their various friends and relations. At the opposite ends of the social spectrum, they are equally vulnerable and the ending for both of them is unbearably poignant. The symbolic high point is a deer shoot in Scotland at which point I had to pause the DVD and go away for half an hour before I had the guts to press play and face the final scenes. Brilliant!

For reasons I'm entirely unable to understand, this wonderful film isn't available in North America. Fortunately I have a code free machine and ordered it here. I was mainly intrigued by the tremendous cast and the director, whose work in Onegin impressed me as some of the very finest in recent years. Chromophobia is no step back. To me, it is absolutely unfathomable why a director this fine isn't working all the time. If nothing else, and there are many other reasons "else", Ms. Fiennes is regularly able to assemble casts of the very finest of British actors, as well as from around the world. With the casts she directs, even mediocre scripts would make splendid films, but this is no mediocre script, merely a splendid film. I'd recommend it to anyone who is capable of understanding that excellence in film doesn't require a rap music track, lots of gunfire and an automobile chase. This is just wonderful work.
