Not a dry eye in the house.
That’s what we’re promising you if you join us on the 15th of November to watch “One Life”, the 2023 film by James Hawes. Yet, there’s not an ounce of sentimentalism to be witnessed. But then, when you got Anthony Hopkins on the billing, you’re more or less assured of a high-quality film, aren’t you?!
And Hopkins is the embodiment of a long-lasting career, defying the commonly held view that film careers are are only for the young and beautiful. It’s amazing to see how he manages to keep finding roles to play that showcase his talent, yet feel differently with each picture he makes.
An honourable mention needs to go to Johnny Flynn who managed to make all of us swoon when he played Mr. Knightly in the 2020 adaptation of jane Austen’s Emma, only to return now in a much more serious role. Will he prove to be just as versatile as Mr. Hopkins…?
