Venus (Roger Michell, 2006)Peter O'Toole is this film. He carries it through his pathos and his beautiful longing. This is a love story, though a very unconventional one. At first the love between Sir O'Toole and the teenage Jessie (played by Jodie Whittaker) creeped me out. However, when you move past the sexuality that appears to drive this relationship towards the beginning, something beautiful shows itself. This is an extremely sad film, and it's not for those who are easily upset (sorry Kiki). However, it is a film that is rewarding to the viewer in every sense of the word. I love it.
