Winslow Boy, The

 

USA / UK 1999, 100 minutes
Dir. David Mamet
Genres: Drama

Topics: Stageplay, Period - 1900s.

 

Aroview: Writer-Director extraordinaire David Mamet changes pace, eschewing fiery dialogue for a subtly-modulated evocation of the Edwardian England.

Intelligent antidote to the Merchant-Ivory brigade, with several intriguing sub-themes informing its central story of a middle-class family suffering the indignities of a status-sinking injustice. Cast of Nigel Hawthorne, Rebecca Pidgeon and Jeremy Northam stay wonderfully straight-backed. From the Terrence Rattigan play.
