Review of Carrington (1995) by Jarid W — 03 Oct 2009
One of the problems of biopics is that, unless they are about witty or warlike people, they aren't very cinematic. In Carrington, there's little to find of interest in the dull titular character as she bonks a collection of chinless twats and penniless aristos while on the other side of the Channel millions are dying to protect their spoiled way of life.
Wearying and annoying in equal measure, Carrington does little to illuminate the life of the artist while creating audience hatred of aristocracy and lovey thespians alike. I do hope these toffs were blown away by a deserter or something because I never made it to the end to find out.
Of interest only to American art students and tweed afficionados (one star for the wardrobe).
