Inadmissible Evidence
Douglas Hodge can be a middle-aged lawyer living the worst 24 several hours of his existence in Jamie Lloyds staging of Inadmissible Evidence.
A Donmar Warehouse presentation from the play by 50 percent operates by John Osborne. Directed by Jamie Lloyd.Bill Maitland - Douglas Hodge
Hudson - Daniel Ryan
Manley/Maples - Al Weaver
Mrs Garnsey - Serena Evans
Shirley - Karen Gillan
Pleasure - Amy Morgan
Liz - Esther Hall
Jane Maitland - Alice SandersWhen can be a play not just a play? When it's an aria, too as with the problem of John Osborne's 1964 drama "Inadmissible Evidence," a couple-and-a-half-hour mad scene. An endurance test with an actor, inside the wrong hands it risks being the identical with an audience. But director Jamie Lloyd and, especially, Douglas Hodge obtain the best possible situation with this particular problematic fantasia. Seeing Hodge's blistering performance is similar to being unable to tear yourself from the stand-up in enchanting meltdown. Just like Simon Gray's more famous "Butley" which adopted in this play's wake seven years later, "Inadmissible Evidence" dispenses with plot meant for showing the worst twenty-four several hours inside the central character's existence, with key players needing to pay visits regarding the comes lower to some monologue. Within the opening, as Hodge's middle-aged lawyer Bill Maitland is harangued within the ramshackle office having a judge (Daniel Ryan) perched atop a filing cabinet together with a clerk in the court (Al Weaver) looking at a chair, it's apparent that naturalism is is this is not on recption menus. By getting a long, unearthly groan of discomfort from Hodge, work proper springs to existence. Much-roughed up secretaries move interior and exterior the firing line and Ryan and Weaver return as fellow people in the firm reaching the conclusion from the tether utilizing their irascible but desperate boss, who never misses an chance to sneer their way. Lloyd shapes proceedings by heeding Osborne's indication that this is often a dream play. Everyone knows where we are due to Soutra Gilmour's terrific period-style group of a big, paper-tossed, dull inner office with floor-to-ceiling home home windows searching towards a wall a vast amount of-roughed up secretaries. Nevertheless the anchoring provided by her immediately identifiable setting frees Lloyd to lift Hodge's performance for the horrifyingly surreal. Beneath James Farncombe's marvelously queasy light making its way through bleary office skylights, Hodge counter-with ease scampers using the opening section with cunning comedy. He allows us to find out that his character reaches sight of crack-up, but pills, whiskey and bravado are seeing him through. Sweating and bursting from his ill-fitting three-piece suit, really the only connect with Hodge's latest stage role -- his Tony-winning Albin in "La Cage aux Folles" -- is his devastating timing. He changes direction of thought at warp-speed and includes the comedian's gift for getting a chance to stretch time apparently indefinitely. For a number of his almost non-stop tirade he's everyone else with the throat with everyone playing catch-up, because both he as well as the character think so thrillingly fast. The speed of his performance (inside an already trimmed text) is not virtuosic revealing but a perfect realization in the strategies by which Maitland is permanently abroad from themselves. Whenever he stops to check out his appalling associations along with his wife, his mistress, his co-employees and clients, he risks drowning inside the afraid self-loathing that fuels his every waking moment. Maitland's appalling sights round the women within the existence should result in the play unwatchable, but Hodge is actually charming that his attitudes appear self-lacerating. The truly upsetting factor in regards to the no-holds-bared performance could it be shows a man who knows themselves frighteningly well but tend to do nothing at all whatsoever relating to this. Shortly just before the ultimate section, he attempts to pull themselves together to help Maples (Weaver), a person billed with illegal homosexual behavior. To Maitland's silenced astonishment, Maples decides to plead guilty from pride (that is three years before homosexuality was legalized inside the U.K.). Weaver's high-chinned, fantastically distilled portrayal features a poised self-knowning that stands just like a chilling rebuke to Maitland's emotional staggering. It silences him, and perfectly produces Maitland's final terrifying attack on his daughter. The applause that greets Hodge's ultimate collapse can be as disquieting since it is appropriate to so epic a performance.Sets and costumes, Soutra Gilmour lighting, James Farncombe appear and music, Ben and Max Ringham, production stage manager, Sunita Hinduja.

Happy End
A Nordisk Film release of a Zentropa Intl. Sweden, Trollhattan Film presentation and production. (International sales: TrustNordisk, Hvidovre, Denmark.) Produced by Madeleine Ekman. Directed by Bjorn Runge. Screenplay, Runge, Kim Fupz Aakesen.With: Ann Petren, Malin Buska, Gustaf Skarsgard, Johan Widerberg, David Dencik, Mariah Kanninen, Hanna Malmberg.Good intentions don't always lead to desired consequences in "Happy End," the latest feature from Swedish theater and occasional film director Bjorn Runge ("Daybreak," "Mouth to Mouth"). A small web of interconnected stories that fans out around an eager mother's difficult rapport with her thin-skinned artist son, the pic reps a typical slice of Scandinavian miserabilism, from its solid acting to its fairly straightforward aesthetic. Pic preemed at the recent San Sebastian fest and will be welcomed at other film events, though ever-after happiness is likeliest on the Euro tube. Widowed driving-school instructor Jonna (Runge regular Ann Petren) takes her grown-up son, Peter (Gustaf Skarsgard, Alexander's brother), back in after he suffers a breakdown and is abandoned by his pretty g.f. (Hanna Malmberg). Back home, the still-fragile painter falls for pretty Katrine (Malin Buska), Jonna's cleaner, who is herself involved in an abusive relationship with her b.f. (Johan Widerberg), who owes money to a thug (David Dencik). Visually more straightforward than "Mouth to Mouth," this depressing crisscrosser does feature one attention-grabbing sequence: a slow zoom that reveals ace thesp Skarsgard's face as he asks Katrine an important question.Camera (color), Ulf Brantas; editor, Lena Runge; music, Ebba Forsberg; production designer, Jette Lehman; costume designer, Anna Karlsson.

'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo's' Rooney Mara Softens Up for Vogue Cover
Vogue/Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott Rooney Mara, the star of David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, is on the cover of the November Vogue with a fascinating profile by Jonathan Van Meter. Perfect timing to publicize her much-anticipated film (as if it needed more hype) that opens Dec. 21. Van Meter notes that Mara landed the part of Lisbeth Salander which is "arguably one of the most coveted roles for an actress since Gone with the Wind, also a shrewd complicated difficult to love heroine capable of slaying a man." The role is certainly the most career-making or breaking. VIDEO: The Girl With The Dragon Tatto's Daniel Craig: Rooney Mara is Spot-On as Lisbeth Salander Fans of Steig Larsson's books and of the original film starring Noomi Rapace are going to be watching very carefully to see if Mara's performance meets or beats Rapace's. In Vogue, Fincher admits that he knows he's walking in other people's footprints. But he explains, "I am a contrarian by nature, so all it does is make me want to take real risks. I am like, 'If we are not out on the ledge juggling chain saws, then we are doing ourselves a huge disservice.' " The writer cannot help but notice the mentor-student electricity between Mara and Fincher, who also worked together on The Social Network (she was on the set for only four days). Daniel Craig, who plays crusading journalist Mikael Blomkvist, has also noticed their eerily insync working relationship and says, "It's f---ing weird!" Fincher tells Vogue that initially considered Scarlett Johansson for the role. He says she gave a great audition but he didn't cast her because "The thing with Scarlett is, you can't wait for her to take her clothes off. I keep trying to explain this, Salander should be like E.T." PHOTOS: 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo': Images of Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara No question that Rooney's Salander is otherworldly looking. There's also no question that Mara will be this award season's best 'Get' for designers. Vogue has dressed her in some elegant gowns (Marchesa, Vera Wang, Calvin Klein, Bottega Veneta) that soften up her E.T.esque Salander look. But will she bring the punky Salander stye on the award season red carpets to help promote the film? Or downplay it to hammer home the transformation and her acting abilities? Mara's Elisbeth Salandar makeup was done by Pat McGrath and costumes were created by Trish Summerville. Rocker hairstylist D'Anilo cut her hair, shaved the sides, bleached her eyebrows and dyed her hair black. All in one sitting. Mara admits the brows were the biggest shock. Much as they were for Saorise Ronan, who had to have hers bleached for her role in Hanna last year and told FASHTrack, "I was walking around Berlin feeling like I had no face."
