ON THE BALL
There is a new version of
‘Cinderella’ in the cinemas. It stars Cate Blanchett, and is directed by
Kenneth Branagh for Disney Pictures.
I haven’t seen it yet, but some of the reviews include such comments as…
“Hollywood filmmakers are no slouches these days when it comes to subverting or sending-up fairy-tale conventions. But Kenneth Branagh does something much more daring. He plays things straight.”
“With hardly a whiff of irony, and no jokey postmodern references,”
“…eschews the easy option of modernising it with a hip and radical make-over.”
“… a handsome slice of old-fashioned family entertainment.”
“… in its lack of experiment, this latest Cinderella feels positively experimental.”
Well whaddya know?
