Anamika, whose mother is Indian and father is English, returns to care for her mother who is suffering from dementia. But the mother-daughter relationship is not an easy one. When her mother was younger she was a promising singer, but a series of unexpected situations, including a move to the United Kingdom, an unplanned pregnancy, and raising a daughter alone, have made her emotional and stubborn. White-skinned Anamika used to lie about being adopted, and the wounds she received from her mother after her father died when she was ten have become a trauma. The time left for them to shake off the long shadows and reconcile with each other is too short. As her mother’s illness worsens, Anamika must prepare herself for medical and legal issues as well as her career and what lies ahead. With a meticulously crafted script this film shows the change in their relationship through dialogue.

Everyone has an opinion on bad cars... now it's time to hear the ones that really count--ours... As it's the worst car in the history of the WORLD, we're on our travels ... to the North of England ... to name and shame the most rubbish car from a manufacturer which, frankly, should have known better. But, it's not all about hateful cars ... Oh no. You have to revel in some good ones to appreciate the stinkers. There's the Ferrari 458 spider, Toyota's GT86 and the £340,000 Lexus LFA rubbing shoulders with a Mercedes SLS. Our guest driver, The Stig's Yorkshire cousin, puts his whippet to one side and throws a BMW M5 round a gymkhana course before we have a go in a couple of Transatlantic challengers. Things don't go well. We spend treasured leisure time on the golf course continuing our debate. That doesn't go well either. We even put our own cars--past and present--into the reckoning. That ends badly too. We argue over the great and the awful from Peugeot, Ford, Mahindra, FSO, Alfa Romeo, Rolls Royce, Porsche, Citroen, Saab ... and many more. And we have a special, surprise fate in store for the car we pick as our biggest loser... Enjoy... Jeremy Clarkson & James May
凭借英剧《神探夏洛克》《伦敦生活》、话剧《哈姆雷特》《乐在当下》多次获得奥利弗奖、艾美奖、金球奖大奖及提名的英国演员安德鲁·斯科特(Andrew Scott)将再次挑战个人演艺生涯的又一高峰——一人分饰多角出演契诃夫名作的独角戏改编版《万尼亚》。无论是将原著中深沉阴险的莫里亚蒂演绎得狡黠而略带神经质,还是将禁欲的神父塑造得温柔又性感,安德鲁·斯科特尤善为人物赋予自己的思考和独特的气质,这次他将在万尼亚舅舅、索尼娅、教授、医生等九个角色间自如切换,期待值拉满! 《万尼亚》由凭借《深夜小狗离奇事件》获得奥利弗奖、托尼奖的西蒙·史蒂芬斯(Simon Stephens)操刀改编,在改编作品中,希望、梦想和遗憾都成为探索的焦点。导演萨姆·耶茨(Sam Yates)搭建出封闭的、生活化的舞台空间,让安德鲁·斯科特在其中塑造了众多栩栩如生的角色,带来一个被人类共通的情感包裹的夜晚。该剧在伦敦西区演出时场场爆满,备受好评,本次影像也摄于演出现场。
在1930年代,当时世界被战争而分裂,人类处在激情与痛苦当中。导演理查德·隆克瑞恩巧妙地将故事中的狡诈、阴谋、残暴,与当代法西斯象征主义结合在一起。伊安·麦克莱恩演出理查三世,他欲夺取兄长的王位,谋杀、骗婚、歼灭亲族无所不用其极,这样强烈的欲望,驱使他永无止尽的毁掉周遭的人。 影片是根据莎士比亚的名剧《理查三世》改编而成的,但是影片将故事发生的时间背景由原著中1483-1485年转换到1930年。将莎士比亚的剧作移植到其它年代,是电影人常常做的事,但是却不一定每次都做的好。难能可贵的是,这版《理查三世》不但以睿哲的智能改编了这部剧作,并且在不破坏莎翁美丽的词句下,为此剧注入现代的活力。
