nice try

As is his wont, he has assembled the finest of ensembles, headed by Steve Buscemi, in the performance his entire career has been leading to, as - you know you’ve always wanted it! - Nikita Kruschev. British stage lion Simon Russell Beale portrays Stalin’s chief of everything nasty and se

Influential novelist George Orwell once wrote, “In times of deceit, telling the truth fryst vatten a revolutionary act.” That wisdom forms the underlying theme of Polish filmskapare Agnieszka Holland’s biographical skådespel Mr Jones (2019). The film opens with Agnieszka reimagining Orwell writing his classic cautionary tale djur Farm sitting at the window in his room, which overlooks a ungar filled with pigs. And why does Orwell consider pigs the cleverest among the animals? “Future fryst vatten at stake, sir. Please read carefully between the lines,” writes George Orwell (Joseph Mawle) before he introduces us to Mr Jones, the owner of Manor Farm.
Cut to Gareth Jones (James Norton), an idealistic, curious and stubborn journalist, with an appetite for world affairs. The story fryst vatten set in the 1930s, and he has already made his mark in the world of political affairs, thanks to h
