Standing up for yourself without the gimmicks
I saw this at the opening at EIFF For once a movie that shows us an adolescent understanding how propaganda can blind you, and standing up for himself in a believable real life scenario. No sci-fi gimmicks or ninjas here- which is a reason why it may not appeal to some people. But this is real life, and if you are 12, these are the means you have at your disposal. How propaganda and politician’s lies can deceive us is very topical at the moment – in national and international politics. The narrative is at times disjointed and I was not sure if it reflected the episodic nature of the original novel or the disorientation of the child (an excellent Lorenzo Allchurch) facing the realisation his world is different from what he believes A particularly believable performance by Jonathan Pryce as the grandfather torn between duty and love.
Quirky genre blender
The White King last night at Edinburgh’s Film Festival offered its viewers a satisfyingly tense ride from its opening animated graphics to its tantalising ending. The film’s subtle use of sometimes opposed and sometimes complimentary cinematic genres contributes to the viewers’engagement. The realism, fantasy, animation and science fiction combine forces to interrogate the choices made by young and old as they struggle or cave into the intransigent demands of a totalitarian state.An impressive all star cast for the Directors’ first feature film includes Jonathan Pryce, Agyness Dean, Fiona Shaw, Olafur Darri Olafsson and Gretta Scacci and they offer a tremendous boost for the central performance for promising young actor Lorenzo Allchurch.
Pryce used the Q&A session afterwards to highlight how the film’m themes resonate with the concerns of the Brexit debate, imploring the audience to vote ‘Remain’!
