In Reply to: Did you enjoy the film? Was Irons convincing? nt posted by tinear on April 11, 2022 at 08:19:49:
Bummer.
I don't really have an opinion on the film; my agosticism as to that venture is inextricably intertwined with the fact that Dershowitz & Co. tried to suck me down into the vortex of their Perjury Machine, which did not make me a happy camper.
Please see the linked-to NYT coverage of how our child-molesting star witness was indicted for... Perjury. Of course, the Catholic Diocese of Providence got him out of state ASAP.
So, a real-world film about Sunny & Claus (I loved the Lemony Snicket childrens' books) has yet to be made.
And one of the reasons for that is that Jeremy Irons was TOTALLY CONVINCING--but only as Charles Ryder in "Brideshead Revisited." Ryder was young, handsome, and doomed.
Whereas Jeremy Irons was MOST DEFINITELY NOT CONVINCING as Mr. Boberg, a/k/a Claus von Bülow.
Von Bülow was well into middle age, verging on just plain old. His head and face resembled a peeled potato. He radiated the smary self-satisfaction of someone who thinks he is debonair, but who is merely rich. He struck me as a cross between Daddy Warbucks and Nikita Kruschev.
ciao,
