Yesterday, Meryl has attended a pre-Bafta Dinner, hosted by Charles Finch and Chanel. Pictures from the event have been added to the image library, as well as a couple of additional pictures of last year’s press junket for “The Iron Lady” in New York.
It’s the weekend of the BAFTAs, so what better project to cover as Movie of the Week than “The French Lieutenant’s Woman”. Not only is it the first British film that Meryl has starred in, but until today (well, maybe not until this evening) the only performance that has won her a British Academy Award. The galleries have been updated with over 1.000 quality captures from the film, three clips have been added to the video archive. As always, production notes and review after the cut. And I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the film in the comments.
Since Meryl was recently interviewed on Fresh Air from WHYY to promote “The Iron Lady” (thanks to everybody for the heads-up), I got hold of the fact that the audio archive somehow disappeared when the new layout was launched :-( It has been brought back to the site and features many new files of radio interviews, special conversation panels and readings. You can launch the audio archive here, a perament link can be found in the video archive. If you have any other audio files that are not featured in the archive yet, please let me know. Enjoy!
This update has been made possible by fellow visitors Glenn, Séverine, Amélie and Lydie-Caroline who’ve sent in some recent magazine scans of French and Canadian articles. You cann find them all in the image library. Thanks to you all for your generous contributions!
