An exquisite film...
|
| This is a beautifully understated, moving film. I remember seeing it simply because Michael Palin was in it, and I am a major Python fan (like almost everyone in the world). This film is not a comedy (I kind of knew that going in), but it is gentle, serene, beautifully shot, and quite moving by the end. Palin acquits himself wonderfully as the Oxford professor, as does the rest of the cast. I was really surprised by how quite profound some of it was. The location shooting is amazingly beautiful, and Palin has a line of dialogue that has always remained in my memory when he is staring at the Swiss Alps. He remarks on how beautiful it all is, and there must have been some divine hand guiding it. I think Palin is the most underrated of the Python performers. He has done very good dramatic work, and has become a global trekker. From all reports, he is an extremely modest man in person, so maybe he doesn't promote himself as the others might have (at least not as much as Cleese likes to do...the Pythons tease Cleese all the time about that). This film is wonderful, and it deserves to be better known. |
