Review of Venus (2006) by Jordan F — 15 Apr 2011

I guess old people can still have interesting stories.

The story is a about an old man who is quite a famous actor. He meets a young, sort of lower class girl who has just moved into town with nothing. They strike up a peculiar relationship and Maurice, the old man, falls head over heels for this woman who he thinks is just the most beautiful thing on earth.

This film is full of laughs and the older characters are just full of spirit and vigor. This film also has a lot of Corinne Bailey Rae if your any fan of her music. The acting is quite superb all around.

I don't really like the ending because it has the feeling of a slow release more than anything else. But that's just how it goes, can't blame the story line it's just not my cup of tea.

There is a cool fight scene if you watch it in which there's a cool judo move preformed. It's definitely a great film to watch if you don't mind a film about old people.
