  Hope Gap 2019

  ★★★ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  Impeccably acted (by Nighy, especially) but William Nicholson’s adaptation of his 1999 play THE RETREAT FROM MOSCOW, about the death of a marriage, feels a little too familiar.

  Macaroni 1985

  ★★★★ Added

  Two incredible actors team up for this tender film about two World War II buddies who are reunited in modern day Naples only to find that Antonio (Mastroianni)has been forging letters to his sister from Robert (Lemmon) since the war ended. It was his way of helping her forget the American who left her behind. Worth viewing for the fantastic chemistry between both stars.
