I got to see this film in the Cambridge film festival and it was brilliant. It's an amazing cast, and I think they gave some of the best performances I've seen, especially Kristin Scott Thomas and Ben Chaplin. It made London look beautiful - so many British films look cheap, like TV movies, this one was just as polished as anything that comes out of Hollywood. I think they said it's coming out in time for Christmas - it's definitely worth a look!
shareChromophobia is an exceptionally good film.
It is a tale of common humanity in a contemporary setting. It is not a simplistic moral tale, but celebrates the extraordinary, complex lives of ordinary people living in a modern, fast moving world. Each of the characters are flawed in different ways. There are no easy answers to the complex issues experienced by the characters. Instead the film has a large number of themes running through it: integrity, honesty, hypocrisy, loyalty, love (of many kinds), kindness, fear, frustration, spirituality, emptiness, death, illness, sex to name but a few. The film provokes thought and conversation about our modern world and the problems which we all face.
Coupled with the extremely talented cast, this film is a tribute to British cinema.
