Movie Title: Ladies in Lavender Ladies in Lavender is available for streaming or downloading. |
This still British film starring two of Britain’s most acclaimed actresses, Dames Maggie Smith and Judi Dench, is unabashedly a vehicle for these two leading ladies. Janet (Smith) and Ursula (Dench) are two unmarried sisters living on the waft. When one morning after a storm they search for an unconscious young man (Daniel Bruhl) on the rocky shore, their daily rhythms change as each woman develops a crush on the helpless man. Each vies for his complete attention. When Janet is able to finally communicate with Andrea in German (he is Polish), Ursula becomes consumed with jealousy and compensates by pampering him. Both, however, are pushed aside as it turns out that Andrea is a virtuoso violinist (music played by Joshua Bell), and the entire town in drawn to him. Even worse for the sisters, a comely visitor, Olga, discovers him as well, drawing him away from Janet and Ursula, into her believe world.

Judi Dench is given more to work with than her co-star, and so comes across as the more complicated woman, but Maggie Smith turns in a graceful, reserved performance as the more hard-edged sister. Daniel Bruhl is a small awkward in his role; while Natascha McElrone turn in a more memorable performance, though hardly as commanding as Dench and Smith. The cinematography lends affection to the English countryside and cruise, and it highlights the isolation of the little town.
This film is slow-moving and carefully articulated, without remarkable happening beyond what is revealed in the actresses’ faces. Without Dench and Smith, it would have no appeal, and so should be seen more for the two stars than for the film itself. 3+ stars.
English actor Charles Dance (’Last Action Hero’) made his debut as director in ‘Ladies in Lavender’ based on a short epic by William J. Lock. The film features ample veterans like Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Miriam Margolyes, David Warner, plus Natascha McElhone (’Ronin’), and Daniel Bruhl (’Goodbye Lenin”) .

The myth, space in 1936 in a seaside village in Cornwall, is a simple one. A young pretty man named Andrea (Bruhl) is found on the shore, uncounscious, with his ankle broken. Andrea, who cannot allege English, is nursed by two ancient ladies of the village, Ursula (Dench) and Janet (Smith), and soon he recovers his health, picking up some English words while in bed. Also, Andrea starts to live with the spinsters (and the housemaid Margolyes who teaches him how to peel the ‘potatoes’), and brightens the life of the ladies, especially that of Ursula, to whom Janet refers as very ‘naive.’
Later, Andrea turns out a gifted violinist, and Olga, young traveller from the city, also finds his talent (Olga speaks fluent German) . And a bit incredibly, I believe, but Olga happens to be a sister of one illustrious violist, who happens to be in London unprejudiced for one day. And Olga says this is a huge chance that he cannot lose.
The customary and implausible tale is helped by the presence of the two tall actors Dench and Smith. It is their acting, or subtle expressions of divulge and face that really negate the fable, and Charles Dance should be very thankful for their satisfactory jobs (I idea, actually, his direction is impartial so-so, with too many unnecessary stupid motions and even an embarrasing ‘dream sequence’ of Ursula that had almost killed the film) .
The film’s strength lies in the veterans’ acting, particularly that of Dench, whose character Ursula is the most memorable one. It is positive that she is in treasure, and equally positive that she knows she is not allowed to convey her feelings even before Janet, who somehow senses the truths slack the embarrassed expressions of Ursula. At the same time, however, this could be the weakest (or most unbelievable) piece of the film — of course, musty ladies plunge in admire, and why not? — but Judi Dench and Daniel Bruhl? And in the novel, Ursula is in her 40s while Judi Dench was born in 1934.
Another predicament is (so I found), Daniel Bruhl, or his character Andrea, who lacks the mystery, or the murky side, which he should have, if he really comes from where he claims (remember, it’s 1936, only three years before WW2) . Andrea’s character needs more complexity. After all, who is he? Why wants to go to America? He doesn’t talk about them — that’s graceful — but no one asks (except David Warner’s doctor), which is too exclusive.
‘Ladies in Lavender’ is a splendid film about the two ladies in title, and the acting from the well-known players is satisfactory. Survey for Judi Dench and Maggie Smith, and you will be greatly moved by them, or their characters.
