Review of Another Country (1984) by David F — 25 Oct 2014
A film much more concerned about manners than men. Another Country is trapped by the ceremonies and traditions of the English public schools system, and fails to explore the relationships bound by it. Neither does it have enough about socialism to justify using Guy Burgess as basis for the main character.
It seems a too literal adaptation of the play, and needs serious fleshing-out. We know little more about the characters at the end of the film than at the beginning, and the whole film degenerates into a docu-drama.
Nevertheless, some solid performances.
