Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Ladies in Lavender is exactly the sort of film that prompts people to question, "Why don’t they make films like this anymore?" It’s a delicately-paced story of two aging sisters--Ursula (Dame Judi Dench) and Janet (Maggie Smith--who live together on a Cornwall beach in 1936. They discover a foreign stranger washed ashore (Daniel Bruhl), and while nursing him back to health make an astonishing discovery: the young man, a Pole, is a phenomenally gifted violinist. And Ursula finds her feelings for the man go far deeper than merely maternal.

Writer and director Charles Dance has crafted an admirable debut. Ladies in Lavender a tenderly done and bittersweet story of innocence and regret. Though the dialogue sometimes seems too earnest, and he has an over-reliance on slow motion cinematography, he still allows his two talented leads enough time and space to shine. It’s only unfortunate that more effort did not go into the DVD release of the film: the extras only consist of soundbites from the cast and crew, which add little insight. --Ted Kord

5.0 out of 5 stars Equisitely Superior Film - A Cultural Masterpiece, 22 Mar 2005

Peter - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ladies in Lavender [DVD] (2004) (DVD)

Ladies In Lavender looked excellent from the offset - directed by Charles Dance and starring two of the world's best actresses - I always knew it would be of high calibre, but was astounded as to how deeply compelling and touching it really was.

Judi Dench and Maggie Smith are utterly fantastic in their respective roles as Ursula and Janet (two close, yet different, sisters living on the Cornish coast at the threshold of world war 2).

I have NEVER cared for characters in a film more than I have these two women, and the tale they become involved in is overwhelming.

This is a film of gentle beauty with deeply emotional undercurrents. I am a 24 year old man, and by the time the credits were rolling I was - literally - sobbing.

This film is a (beautiful) masterpiece. It is a cultural crime to miss it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ladies in Lavender, 29 April 2005

T. A. Hipkin "The last of the silent majority" (Callander, Perthshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ladies in Lavender [DVD] (2004) (DVD)

A little gem of a movie, beautifully set and sensitively filmed and edited, with the tremendous combination of Judi Dench and Maggie Smith working at the 100% level. The evocation of a rural Cornwall in the immediate pre-war period is absolutely spot-on, and the sound-track music is excellent.

110 minutes of sheer enjoyment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, gentle tale, 28 Feb 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: Ladies in Lavender [DVD] (2004) (DVD)

I couldn't disagree more with the reviewer who considered this worth only one star (and yes, I did see Breath of Life). This film is a gentle, undemanding but nevertheless very moving 'fairy story'. The basic premise, that of the rescue of a Polish violinist by two lonely elderly sisters, is beautifully played out by the two marvellous leads. Add to that Miriam Margolyes being unwittingly compared to a potato, and you have a real winner. This is lovely, arty farty drama, and I highly recommend it!

Found it a delightful film, not very well known either. Bought it for my wife but am enjoying it myself. Would suspect that on the whole it is a film for women to enjoy though.
