Song for Marion

Do you remember the post about BFI London Film Festival? If you don't click here.

I mentioned that I booked my ticket for ''Song for Marion'' movie. I watched the film yesterday at Odeon theatre at Leicester Square and all I can say is that it was with no doubt a great movie. 

The movie filled me up with so many feelings about life, parents, illnesses, relationships and companionship. It leaves you with a bittersweet feeling, and that is what I like about movies. To be realistic. I believe that everyone who will watch that film can identify himself or herself in one of the characters or at least identify a member of their family. 

The thing I liked the most was how it relates young people with older people. I can see clearly the exchange of energy between them. Older people give attention to the younger one, and the younger one gives life and happiness to them.

Finally the great balance between drama and comedy made the movie so  nice to watch without worrying if you disturb the person next to you with your crying. 
  
The film is directed by Paul Andrew Williams (also known for ''London to Brighton''). 
The characters of the film are played by Terence Stamp (Arthur), Gemma Arterton (Elizabeth), Vanessa Redgrave (Marion), Christopher Eccleston (James).

The photo above is just before the screening where on the right Terence Stamp and on the left Paul Andrew Williams say a few things about the character and the film.

According to IMDB film's release date in UK is on the 8th of February 2013.

I hope you will enjoy it.

Cheers
