Angel movie review
Life of Dreams
Angel begins with sweeping overture music, a snowy period setting, and a rosy-cheeked girl with her face pressed between the railings opening to Paradise.
In a Dickensian period environment, young Angel indulges herself in her dreams of literary fame, happily sharing her fantasies of a better reality with others, whether they like it or not.
I've written a novel. ... I'm going to be a famous writer.
Movie poster, Angel; Festivale film review
Within the first ten minutes Angel's demanding posturing alienates the audience, and the whimsical opening music is succeeded by a script that sweeps while the story stumbles on.
Arrogant, humourless and mannered, Angel succeeds despite herself, and without the good wishes of the audience.
Hard work.
