Cheer up, Stephen, your next play's just round the corner

Article Abstract:

Actor Stephen Rea is keen to become involved in comedy, moving away from the glum, depressing characters with which he has become associated. However, he plays such a character in his most recent film, 'A Further Gesture.' In this film, he places great emphasis on the effectiveness of stillness and understatement. He also enjoys stage work, which gives the immediacy of a live audience. He sometimes feels that he takes acting too seriously.

Downhill hunt for a new hit

Article Abstract:

The annual Sundance Festival in Park City, UT, mainly focuses on US films, being designed to promote the work of US independent film-makers. However, it has gained an international flavour as well, and now attracts many buyers. This has led to problems with reconciling art with commerce. A number of films that went on to become big hits were premiered at the festival. These include 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'The Full Monty.'

Article Abstract:

Film producer Jeremy Thomas believes that his films are more closely aligned with European sensibility than with English sensibility. He feels that negative reactions to 'Crash' damaged his bid for an Arts Council lottery production franchise to establish a mini-studio.
