De-Lovely (2004)

£0.00


Country: GB/US
Technical: col/2.35:1 125m
Director: Irwin Winkler
Cast: Kevin Kline, Ashley Judd, Jonathan Pryce, Kevin McNally

Synopsis:

Treated to a magical revue of his life, songwriter Cole Porter reminisces over his marriage to his wife Linda, and reconciles himself to the more painful memories.

Review:

Part pageant of songs, some of which are performed by 'meta-interpreters', part unconventional love story, as Porter's relationship with Linda is challenged by his reliance on, and her indulgence of, his homosexuality to strike a happy balance in his life. Ably performed but dramatically stolid and studio-bound, with knob-twiddling lapses into black and white particularly redundant and unappealing.
