A Billy Elliot
Stephen Daldry's first feature film is set in the north-east of England during the miner's strike of 1984. A motherless boy, Billy Elliot, from a mining village, takes up dancing against the wishes of his father and older brother. Regrettably, the
depiction of the working classes in Lee Hall's semiautobiographical script is somewhat stereotypical.
The heart of the film, however, is in the relationship that Billy strikes up with his dance teacher. Mrs Wilkinson is a dispirited soul who finds as much genuine pleasure in nurturing the talent and hope of this 11-year-old as he does in the
discipline and support that she provides for him. The dancing is superb, but Daldry could be accused of overusing dance as a metaphor for escape and frustration, and
the grand opera numbers sit a little uneasily, given that this film is essentially pitched as a realist comedy.
B Bend it like Beckham
Football's uncommon ability to bring a nation together is celebrated in this sweet, positive youth movie. Set in modern day London, the film tells the story of Jess, whose two greatest loves in life are David Beckham and kicking a ball about.
Unfortunately her family cling to traditional Asian values, and while they're willing to tolerate her fanaticism the very idea of their daughter joining a local girls' team makes them see red.
But, encouraged by her new best pal, Jules, and dishy Irish coach, Joe, she defiantly signs on with the team. Actresses Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightly both have winning personalities, but credit should also go to the writer and director for getting the balance right between humour and pathos, sporting and romantic action, not to mention negotiating the tricky business of filming football with
originality and finesse.
C Cinema Paradiso
A successful movie director in his 40s, Salvatore returns home to Sicily after hearing of the death of Alfredo, the exprojectionist at the village cinema. Most of the film is a flashback to Salvatore's World War 2 childhood and adolescence when, obsessed by movies, he is befriended by the wise and benevolent, though sometimes rather gruff, Alfredo.
Their bond is one that contains many highlights and tragedies and ultimately shapes the way for Salvatore to move out of his run-down village to pursue a dream.
