Review of This Sporting Life (1963) by Johnnylee T — 31 Jul 2015
Great movie. Ostensibly a sport-drama but the main plot of the movie is as a relationship / human drama. Very thoughtful and emotional plot. Great, gritty direction by Lindsay Anderson. The use of black-and-white photography helped the feeling of desolation, melancholy and emotional emptiness.
Requires some patience though - starts slowly.
Good performances by Richard Harris and Rachel Roberts, both of whom received Oscar nominations for their efforts.
