VENUS (2006) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Roger Michell
 
Written by - Hanif Kureichi
 
Starring - Peter O'Toole
 
 
 
"A teenage girl suddenly enters the lives of two veteran actors, and one of them grows particularly fond of her. Despite the plot sounding like Harold and Maude, this is a different take on the theme of human and emotional connection and the need to receive and give affection. It is the tenderness and soul of Venus that makes it so touching. Quite possibly the last monumental performance by Peter O'Toole, that inexplicably still was not good enough to give him his Oscar, who plays the fragile seasoned charmer and reveals a close personal connection with the character."
