DCM’s resident film guru hit the west end today to check out the London Film Festival’s gala screening of Ides Of March. It appears Clooney is quite the chameleon lately, as he not only stars in the movie but also wrote and directed it to boot!
After a question and answer session with the stars of the flick, our guru had the privilege of seeing one of the first UK screenings of the film. He had this to say about it "The Ides of March boasts a stellar cast in this powerful political drama. The IT actor of the moment, Ryan Gosling stars as the fresh-faced and ambitious young presidential campaign staffer who gets his first real taste of the dirtier side of politics. The story is ultimately about compromise and raises the questions of “is it worth it?” and how far would you go to achieve your goals.
As described by Oscar winning Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman in the press conference at the BFI London Film Festival this afternoon, there are “no heroes or villains in the movie”, and the films plays on our own ideas of morality.
Hoffman delivered an exceptional performance alongside fellow Oscar winning/nominated actors Paul Giamatti and Marisa Tomei. The whole cast delivers a tour de force performance and offers more intrigue and tension than your average political drama, appealing to both a broad and upmarket audience. Not interested in politics? You will be after this!"
The Ides of March opens in cinemas nationwide on 28th October.
