Ray *** (1st Time) 2004, Hackford, US The rise to fame of Ray Charles, and his struggle with heroin. A solidly made biopic which gains much weight from a meticulous performance from Foxx; otherwise, it stays in the safe conventions of the genre, and is lovely on the eyes and ears.
Scenes From a Marriage *** (1st Time) 1973, Bergman, Swe An idyllic marriage falls apart, and over the next decade the couple meet to examine their relationship. An excess of long-takes and close-ups make for an exhaustingly claustrophobic and draining film; Bergman is at his most wordy here, but the acting is phenomenal, and carries the film by itself.
