Review of Agatha (1979) by Monsieur R — 20 Sep 2017
Set in Victorian England this film is all about a marriage gone bad, Agatha's, but a new romance begun by Dustin with Redgrave as Agatha Christie.
Poignant, slow paced film shows how Agatha disappeared after a terrible argument with her husband (once Bond star) Tim Hutton. Dustin Hoffman as an American journalist visiting England is determined to find Agatha and falls in love with her. Turns out to be an ill fated love however and things get really interesting as Agatha plots her own suicide.
The movie didn't move me much until the last half when the action picks up to save Agatha from herself. The ending is poignant and a bit sad.
Monsieur Rick.
