The Tamarind Seed (1974)
Under-rated, but excellent romantic thriller
Saw this film only recently, and was surprised by its complexity. Was enthralled. Julie Andrews plays a very upright British type involved in situations that are inevitably comprimising. It is a pleasure to watch this very romantic thriller.
Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
A good film to grow up with
This film was made 10 years before I was born. It is a film I have watched many, many times on tv. It was only recently that I went to see it at the cinema. It was then that I began to properly appreciate it.
This film must be seen on a big screen. It simply does not live in small. It is spectacular in a way that is not seen anymore.
For me, the key relationship is between Lawrence and Ali. It is these two characters that alter each other so. They dance around each other, and leave each other torn, hoping for a new beginning beyond what they have learned from the other. Their worlds are more complicated from having known each other. This is the richness of the film.
