DVD Reviews of Two for the Road
DVD Review: 60's classic
Summary: 4 Stars
Vacation in France in six steps of the lives of relatively young married people. They go from hitch hiking to a Mercedes Benz in a space of a little over ten years. They have all the problems of modern marriages
and all the best of a very good relationship.
They actually seem to understand each other's faults.
I liked even though it is so a "chick flick".
DVD Review: Great price, fast shipping, mint condition
Summary: 5 Stars
The DVD arrived in days, still in the plastic wrap with all original casings. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but everything looks perfect. Great price; quality buy. Could Audrey Hepburn be any more beautiful and endearing? DVD Review: I love this movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is timeless. It is beautifully written, photograghed, directed. The acting is second to none. Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney are completely convincing as a long time married couple whose marriage is not always perfect. Their characters show vulnerability and the insecurity that often goes with real life relationships. They positively sizzle on screen and are both a delight to watch, their persons and their acting. The locales make it that much more beautiful, the gorgeous countryside in the south of France. What's not to love? It is a poignant love story about the enduring bonds of a loving relationship.DVD Review: Two for the Road
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is absolutely spectacular. Consider it the "indie film" of it's time, as it was created in 1967, but filmed in a non-linear fashion. The story follows a couple by the names of Mark and Joanna Wallace through a series of trips to the South of France with one another.
The best part about the whole film is the fact that it feels so real. The banter between the couple is witty, fresh, and relatable. I highly recommend it. Albert Finney and Audrey Hepburn have great chemistry.
DVD Review: I could watch this over and over
Summary: 5 Stars
What else is there to write about this movie? Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney have great chemistry together, the script is intelligent, as the direction, and I for one have never found the movie hard to follow.
The way the different stages of the couple's marriage is contrasted throughout the film is particularly effective and poignant, since we clearly see how far their relationship has traveled through the decade. No, Mark (Finney) is not always the most sensitive of people but he does come through when his wife needs him the most. Nor is Joanna (Hepburn)a saint either; she's human like her husband. And together they make the perfect pair to travel in their journey of life. Sigh. Can't get any better than this!
This DVD is restored to a much sharper image than the VHS tape, and of course the music is just haunting as ever.
Description of Two for the Road
On their third identical voyage from London to the Riviera, Joanna Wallace (Audrey Hepburn) and husband Mark (Albert Finney) explore their 12-year marriage in a series of wry and illuminating flashbacks. They reminisce about the glorious beginning of their love affair, the early years of marriage and the events that led to their subsequent infidelities. As they try to understand their relationship, they must accept how they have changed if they are to rekindle their original love.Best known for light, entertaining musicals such as Singin' in the Rain, director Stanley Donen grew more adventurous (and less successful) in the latter stages of his career, but this edgy romantic comedy from 1967 has proven to be one of Donen's best, most enduring films. Jumping back in forth in time, the film chronicles the marital ups and downs of a stylish British couple (Albert Finney and Audrey Hepburn) as they travel on various vacations over the course of their 12-year marriage. The separate vignettes combine to form a collage of joys and pains as the young couple struggles to maintain their fading marital bliss. In this regard, the film is refreshingly sophisticated in its treatment of the difficulties of long-term commitment, and with Hepburn and Finney in the leads, great performances are drawn from the acerbic wit of Frederick Raphael's screenplay. Fashion mavens will also marvel at Hepburn's astonishing wardrobe of late-'60s fashion--she's a showcase for summer couture, looking fantastic in everything from candy-striped bellbottoms to hip sunglasses and outrageously stylish hats. Some of the melodrama clashes with forced comedy (such as tiresome running gags or a cartoonish portrayal of crass American tourists), but that doesn't stop Two for the Road from being timelessly appealing and truthful to the challenge of lasting love. --Jeff Shannon
