Hilary and Jackie |
Anand Tucker / 1998 / UK / 122 mins - cert.15 / with Emily Watson, Rachel Griffiths, James Frain | Acclaimed and controversial account of the brief life of legendary but destructive cellist Jacqueline Du Pre and her long suffering sister Hilary, portrayed brilliantly by Oscar nominee Emily Watson (a Bristol Graduate) and Rachel Griffiths. Skillfully told in flashbacks and multiple points of view, this is a moving and sensitive film about the downside of a genius. |
