Atonement (the film, 2007)

Last night, for the first time in a while I got out to the movies. Lady dragged me out to see “Atone­ment” (UK/France; 2007; dir­ector: Joe Wright; cast: Keira Knightly, James McA­voy; based on the novel of the same name by Ian McE­wan) — purely Eng­lish film. So much so as par­od­ied by Eddie Izzard, Eng­lish comedian.

I can only speak of my par­tic­u­larly per­sonal impres­sions of the pic­ture, for I am no movie buff, I can­not author­it­at­ively dis­course upon the act­ors’ play, or talk about remin­is­cences evoked by cam­era operator’s work. In that regard it’s bet­ter to seek out more crit­ical reviews on, say, iMDB, writ­ten by seem­ingly com­pet­ent authors.
