Oscar and Lucinda

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

Good, if overly long, Gillian Armstrong look at the relationship between an Australian woman owner of a glass factory (Kate Blanchett) and a young English preacher (Ralph Finnes). Both are obsessive gamblers. Beautiful cinematography, wonderful acting (especially by Fiennes who has, by far, the better role). A most interesting film. Weirdness on lugging a glass church across the Australian terrain, a la “Fitzcaraldo”
