TIN

3 out of 10

Release date: 17th April 2015

Director: Bill Scott

Cast: Jenny Agutter, Helen Bendell, Ben Dyson, Dean Nolan, Stuart Boother, Jason Squibb, Benjamin Luxon and Dudley Sutton

Writer: Bill Scott

Trailer: TIN

An unusual import from Kernow this ‘ere film Tin. Whilst it’s not the am-dram shocker you might expect to see like Draw On Sweet Night, this is a flawed but noble effort to deliver something a bit different. Definitely a film about Cornwall, for Cornish folk, made in the main by a Cornish theatre group, Tin tells the story of the tin mine Wheal Fortune and what happens when the owners try to swindle the bank out of some money. The scam backfires when the shares are unwittingly bought back by a meddling do-gooder.  Elsewhere, a young girl Nell (HELEN BLENDELL) decides whether her heart belongs with a local clergy man (JASON SQUIBB – POLDARK) or a travelling actor (STUART BOOTHER – DEAD OF THE NITE). Her master is the captain of the mine, (BEN DYSON – BROWN WILLY) a deluded god-fearing man who was privvy to the swindle and fears that he may burn in hell. Many of the scenes scuttle past without muster, and some are long musical pieces that demonstrate how well the cast can sing a Cornish choral-ditty. However, few of the scenes catch fire, and the cast are vastly uneven. Some are seasoned pros like Dudley Sutton (ORLANDO) or Jenny Agutter (WALKABOUT) where as others are first-timers and stumble at some of the easiest hurdles.

The cost-cutting device of using green-screen for some of the scenes, with projections of old photographs of the old streets and mines of the 19th century. Some of the scenes are set on real cliffs and beaches though, or on physical indoor sets. An outdoor privee features in many scenes… hmmm.

Cluttered, muddled yet fairly unique, it’s a tough ask to get anybody who lives outside of Cornwall to sit and watch this. Whilst it’s not flat or boring, it’s just messy and incoherent to impediment of a committed cast that could have made this interesting subject fly. Instead it’s permanently grounded and fairly confusing.

3 out of 10 – A bold attempt to shine a light on a forgotten period in Cornish history is marred by fussy production values, incoherent plot and erratic performances.

DRAW ON SWEET NIGHT

0.5 out of 10

Release Date: 7th September 2015

Director: Tony Britten (ChickLit)

Cast: Mark Arends, Doon Mackichan, Sophia Di Martino, Ania Sowinski with Nicky Henson and Christian McKay

Writer: Tony Britten

Trailer: DRAW ON SWEET NIGHT

One thing worse than watching a low-budget horror film by teens and twenty-somethings that don’t have the first clue on how to making a piece of entertainment, is sitting through elitist, amateur dramatics masquerading as high-art. This painfully, stilted, boring and pompous telling of the life story of  17th century composer John Wilbye is as tortuous as I’ve ever experienced. I really thought it was a spoof from a Hale & Pace revue show but alas and alack its only accidentally funny, so poe-faced are the results.

As a docu-drama it fails to educate, as a drama it fails to engage or entertain and it’s just as wooden as the coffin I’m going to nail it in. Experienced actors blend with amateurs, yet they are made indistinguishable by a mysterous need for everybody to deliver their lines as if they are reading them from an autocue. It’s too stagey and brittle to convince on any level. I saw a naked boob at one point which was good though (that’s why it gets half a point).

John Wilbye, who is said to have written the best British madrigals lived in the employ / patronage of The Kitsons. This film shows him as he composes his music and seduces Lady Kitson and several other women. Set in a series of National Trust / English Heritage homes, somehow it still fails the authenticity test as every costume looks made especially for the film and all the sets look polished to death. The 17th century never looked so sparkling. Pity poor Christian McKay (RUSH) and Nicky Henson (GOZO) who have to had to endure this pompous plop. One day we’d like to hear how they got tricked into appearing in this boring vanity flick. What’s worse is that a parallel, modern day story runs parallel as a young singer is late for her recording. The sextet of John Wilbye fans bleat out Wilbye’s greatest hits at full pelt distracting the viewer from what poe-faced dialogue there is in the 17th century timeline. It’s a bad idea and makes a bad film, nigh on unwatchable…

The closest film  to which this resembles I can think of is Peter Greenaway’s Draughtsman’s Contract which is held in high regard by many a film fan. Think of this as a very pale facsimile without any of the intrigue, death or allure. It’s like the Madgrigal Composer’s Monotony…  Shit this pure should produce roses… Not this time.

0.5 out of 10 – Bore On Sweet Night. The worst biopic I’ll ever watch (hopefully).
