Since Spike Lee’s opinion of Green Book is all over Twitter these days I can’t help but say that period dramas aren’t my cup of tea and I would have gladly skipped this Thursday Movie Picks week. But since I vowed to not miss a single week this year, here I am talking about period dramas. And since this is the LGBTQ pride month I’m going with LGBTQ films.
It's 18th Century England and while Queen Anne (Olivia Coleman) occupies the throne, it's her close friend, Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz), who rules the country. Things are about to change when Sarah's cousin, Abigail (Emma Stone), enters the pictures. Not my favourite Lanthimos but these ladies are on fire.
After his lover (Hugh Grant) rejects him, a young man (James Willby) trapped by the oppressiveness of Edwardian society tries to come to terms with and accept his sexuality. I haven't seen this one but I've heard good things about it so I really want to.
In 18th century France, a young female painter, Marianne (Noémie Merlant), is commissioned to secretly paint a wedding portrait of Héloïse (Adèle Haenel), a young reluctant bride-to-be. Day by day, the two women become closer and their intimacy and attraction grow as they share Héloïse's first as well last moments of freedom. I wasn't emotionally invested in the story but since I changed my mind about Call Me By Your Name I could definitely change it about this too.
The Favourite (2018)
Maurice (1987)
Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)
