"As oito vítimas" (Kind Hearts and Coronets) - mubi.

A plataforma Mubi sempre manda novidades. Esses dias apareceu esse filme de 1949 que achei interessante. Comédia inglesa, com Alec Guiness interpretando oito personagens! O trailer é divertido e vamos ver!

depois de ver: o filme não é tão engraçado como o trailer promete, mas vale assistir por Guiness. a história é bem inglesa mesmo. roteiro em flashback, com bastante locução, formato consagrado hoje, mas que devia ser novidade em 1949.

Dennis Price and Joan Greenwood in Kind Hearts and Coronets (Robert Hamer, 1949)

Cast: Dennis Price, Valerie Hobson, Joan Greenwood, Alec Guinness, Audrey Fildes, Miles Malleson, Clive Morton, John Penrose, Hugh Griffith. Screenplay: Robert Hamer, John Dighton, based on a novel by Roy Horniman. Cinematography: Douglas Slocombe. Art direction: William Kellner. Film editing: Peter Tanner. Costume design: Anthony Mendleson. Music: Ernest Irving.

Kind Hearts and Coronets is best known for Alec Guinness's tour de force as the entire D'Ascoyne family, but that's hardly the greatest of pleasures the film affords. Dennis Price's performance as the suavely lethal Louis D'Ascoyne Mazzini is as much a demonstration of how to act sophisticated comedy as one could wish, and who can resist Joan Greenwood as Sibella, especially in hats that seem to contain an entire florist's shop? It evokes her definitive Gwendolen Fairfax in Anthony Asquith's 1952 filming of The Importance of Being Earnest. In fact, Oscar Wilde's play is the essential background reference for Robert Hamer's screenplay -- it apparently also influenced the novel on which the film is based -- and you hear Wilde's voice in such lines as Mazzini's "It is so difficult to make a neat job of killing people with whom one is not on friendly terms." Hamer's staging also provides the necessary distancing from Mazzini's murders, as in the scene in which he offs Young Henry D'Ascoyne (Guinness): While Mazzini is taking tea with Edith (Valerie Hobson) in the garden we hear a whump that neither character acknowledges as Henry's darkroom explodes with him in it. Then smoke begins to arise beyond the garden wall, and Mazzini comments that someone must be burning leaves. Not this time of year, Edith replies, and Mazzini rushes off to "investigate" what he knows has happened. Kind Hearts and Coronets seems to me the best of all the classic British comedies of the late 1940s and the 1950s.

Cine online: Uninvited (2018)

En un colegio australiano, una maestra encarga a sus alumnos le preparación de un debate, evento en el cual dos partes deben tratar un determinado tema mediante posturas opuestas sin importar lo que realmente piensen. Así, insta a Beth (Tayla Audrey) a hacer equipo junto a Georgia (Olivia Fildes) y a oponerse al concepto favorable que Jason (Jack Hayes), su novio, junto con un compañero, deben presentar. El tema es el matrimonio igualitario y la opinión de las chicas debería ser contraria. No obstante, Beth comienza a percibir cierto acercamiento con Georgia, acaecido cuando una circunstancia personal que debería ser dramática suena como un alivio.

Doce minutos le bastan a la guionista Zoe Blake y a la directora Monique Bettello para delinear como lo inesperado puede hacerse sentir ante cualquier eventualidad.

UK Trailer for 'Kind Hearts and Coronets' 70th Anniversary Re-Release

"It's clear that you are insane." Studiocanal UK has debuted a trailer for the 70th anniversary re-release of classic British film Kind Hearts and Coronets, which originally premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 1949. The film comes from the "Golden-Age of Ealing comedies", and is one of those amusing British crime comedies about Dukes and Duchesses and other royalty. A distant poor relative of the Duke of D'Ascoyne, named Louis Mazzini, plots to inherit the title by murdering the eight other heirs – all famously played by Alec Guinness – who stand ahead of him in the line of succession. Louis employs a variety of imaginative murder techniques in order to achieve his aim, and gradually his goal seems to be moving towards his grasp. The cast includes Dennis Price, Joan Greenwood, Valerie Hobson, and Audrey Fildes. The film has been restored in pristine 4K, and will be re-released to UK cinemas in June before arriving on home video. ›››
