Venus (2006)

UK
Feature Film
Director: Roger Michell
Writer: Hanif Kureishi
Cinematographer: Haris Zambarloukos
Cast: Peter O'Toole, Jodie Whittaker, Leslie Phillips, Vanessa Redgrave, Richard Griffiths

Despite the odd trite moment towards the end, this stunningly well acted and beautifully photographed work, a tenderly written sort-of romance between the brilliant O'Toole’s on-his-last-legs actor and the eye-opening Whittaker’s alluring ingénue, is a foul-mouthedly funny and very moving film.
