William Nicholson's drama stars Annette Bening and Bill Nighy as an aging British couple navigating an unexpected divorce.
arrives as a rare modern example of the old-school British playwright brand of cinema, in which the camera is trained obediently upon well-spoken actors as they precisely enunciate their well-wrought lines.
Puzzling though it may be, the film's title is positively scrutable compared to that of the play it is based on, Nicholson'sNapoleon's humiliation, a tad grandiose a metaphor for a husband's abandonment of his presumably once-cherished wife, is mentioned briefly in the drama, which originally debuted onstage at the 1999 Chichester Festival.
Thus is laid out the measure of Edward's displeasure. “Things are coming to a head,” Edward, a teacher, warns his son Jamie , who's briefly down from London and learns the news of his father's intention to leave his mother before she does. “She'll be better off without me,” Edward insists, before adding that, oh, by the way, “There's someone else.”
Every dramatic detail in this relatable microdrama is scrupulously tended to, every comma and period is in place, every sorry admission is conveyed with just the right measure of weary regret or anger, and each attempt by Grace to perform a last-minute rescue proves more pathetic than the last. What's most admirable in the writer's approach is his even-handed fairness toward both characters, his refusal to point a finger of blame or subtly take sides.
