Film van de week: The Descendants

Film van de week: The Descendants

Matt King (George Clooney), vader van twee dochters, wordt gedwongen zijn verleden met andere ogen te bekijken wanneer zijn vrouw betrokken raakt bij een ernstig bootongeluk in Waikiki. Op zijn eigen onbeholpen wijze tracht hij de relatie te herstellen met zijn dochters: de bijdehante Scottie van tien en de opstandige Alexandra van zeventien. Wanneer Alexandra hem vertelt dat haar moeder ten tijde van het ongeluk een verhouding had, wordt Matt gedwongen om op een andere wijze naar zijn leven en zijn nalatenschap te kijken. The Descendants bleek vorige week goed voor 5 van de belangrijkste Oscarnominaties. Filmmaker Alexander Payne tekende eerder voor de regie van vergelijkbare kwaliteitsdrama's als Sideways and About Schmidt, en weet ook hier perfect te balanceren tussen humor en ernst.

The Descendants

From Alexander Payne, the creator of the Oscar-winning '''Sideways'', THE DESCENDANTS is set in Hawaii and follows the unpredictable journey of an American family at a crossroads. Matt King (George Clooney), a husband and father of two girls, must re-examine his past and navigate his future when his wife is in a boating accident off Waikiki. He awkwardly attempts to repair his relationship with his daughters - 10 year-old precocious Scottie and rebellious 17 year-old Alexandra - while wrestling with a decision to sell his family’s land. When Alexandra drops the bombshell that her mother was in the midst of a romantic fling at the time of the accident, Matt has to take a whole new look at his life...

My Week with Marilyn

London, late 1950's. Freshly graduated, budding young filmmaker Colin Clark lands a spot on the set of 'The Prince and the Showgirl', a Hollywood film-production starring Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe. When Monroe's husband, the playwright Arthur Miller, has to leave the country, Clark seizes the opportunity to accompany the elusive starlet on a sightseeing tour round the capital. Inevitably, over the course of one week, the two gradually grow closer and closer together.. 'My Week with Marilyn' is based on an allegedly true account of what happened that week as published by Clark more than 40 years later. Michelle Williams (Blue Valentine, Brokeback Mountain) turns in a much lauded performance in the title role, successfully fleshing out the character of Marilyn Monroe as an emotionally frail woman ill-equipped with handling the consequences of her stardom.
