VHS Movie Reviews of Shirley Valentine
Movie Review: Refreshing film
Summary: 5 Stars
I have loved this movie (and the one-woman play) since I first saw them. Pauline Collins is wonderful as the title character. Whether she is talking to the wall, her husband Joe or the neighbors blood hound - she is funny and insightful. She goes off on a fort-night's (2 week) holiday to Greece with her friend. She falls in love ... with the country. She frolics and lives and regains some of the frivolity of youth. And she gets to "drink wine in a country where the grape is grown."
The scenery of Mykonos is terrific and the cast top-notch.
Summary of Shirley Valentine
British actress Pauline Collins repeats her stage success as the character Shirley Valentine, a married woman who decides in her middle years that she wants more out of life. Leaving her spouse behind, she heads to Greece, where she grows close to a low-key, local bloke (Tom Conti). Collins and director Lewis Gilbert (Educating Rita) choose to let the character, as she did in the play, speak directly to the audience at times, and the gamble works in terms of creating a gentle, intimate atmosphere. Conti is a bonus, a warm presence and funny to boot. --Tom KeoghComedy VHS Video
