    3 out of 5 stars Darling.......2005-07-27

    I thought this film would be, from what I'd read, a female Alfie, but I was truly disappointed. I never felt that this person meant anything to me, whereas Alfie could be the cheekie chappie down the road. I could see what the film was trying to say in the permissive sixties, and that women should be as free as men to do what they like with whom they like, but the film really didn't have the energy it needed. Pity really, as Julie Christie is a fine actress.

    5 out of 5 stars Great movies. Wretched DVD........2003-08-09

    Darling is one of the great movies of the British New Wave. When John Schlesinger died a couple weeks ago, the U.S. press here dismissed the film as having become dated. But I've always thought Schlesinger's early English films have kept their appeal much more than his later American films. And maybe some of that appeal for me is that the early films do depict their period so convincingly. Certainly the orgiastic confession party in Darling provides a definition of dissipation I associate with the swinging life of that period (in tandem with the similar scene from La Dolce Vita). But the basic story of a beautiful young woman doomed by her own shallowness seems to be a story that still gets told in films. To some degree anyway. It doesn't seem to be a story locked into the 1960s. End of Review. Note on the DVD: The prints presented here are very dirty. Lots of black spots. Buckets of white spots. The L-Shaped Room is stated as being presented in 1:1.66 aspect ratio when in fact it is 1:1.33 and suffers accordingly. I get a sinking feeling that Darling will remain remembered as an also ran if a better DVD doesn't come along.
