novel by Kazuo Ishiguro , sponsored by "Time " as Best Novel of 2005, " Never Let Me Go" is the story of Kathy ( Carey Mulligan), who at a particular time of His life tells the children lived in the college of Hailsham in England. From the relationship with his great love failure, Tommy (Andrew Garfield ) than with her best friend Ruth (Keira Knightley ) and daughters took him away, until the shocking discovery that the college was nothing but Halisham a structure in which the clones were raised, a useful day to be used by their "Original" as donors to cure any disease. Eight years after the forgettable, and forgotten "Our One Photo" back behind the camera Mark Romanek, director of many music videos and very few films. "Never Let Me Go" is his third. But this time we did not own.
"Never Let Me Go" is a film by the director is totally wrong that the British cast of actors who chose him. The three protagonists Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield and Keira Knightley are all in a moment of good career for them and this is just a bad misstep. Let's start with
Carey Mulligan view recently in "An Education " with which he had obtained last year nominated for an Oscar as best actress and then also be chosen from in Michael Mann's "Public Enemy . In this film we see her struggling with an interpretation is completely passive, with no opportunity to demonstrate those qualities, playing a character that leaves the viewer always insignificant distance.
Andrew Garfield, Peter Parker next reboot of the "Spiderman " branded Sony and supporting actor of the film that probably will win the next Oscar: "The Social Network ", here we forget just a little character and this is felt that when there is even less. For him an embarrassing scene in which her mother has to come out of the car and get caught by a hysterical attack on the street. Mamma Mia!
arrive at Keira Knightley for her speech is slightly different, although those two are in the process of rising above her that he had already gone now behind a small career. As a trilogy "Pirates of the Caribbean " is not to ignore and even the huge amount of film in which he participated in recent years they took her to an Oscar nomination for "Pride and Prejudice " in 2005. The most absurd choice to make this film is its own. A role like this, marginal to the story and completely bland, after the good of "Last Night " can not be explained very easily. If he were ten years ago too well, but now does not make sense. Only an actress
kidnaps all. Izzy Meikle-Small, who plays Kathy as a child. Nothing but praise for her, the author of the only interpretation that reaches beyond the screen and is appreciated very much. He was also the scene of the most successful films in which her room listen to the song "Never Let Me Go" by the box just given to him by Tommy as a sign of love. Song among others is not bad played by British composer Rachel Portman and Oscar winner.
Not having read the novel can not tell if we are faced with the umpteenth example of bad film adaptation or not, I can only say that " Never Let Me Go" is a film dull and frigid, which paradoxically gives his best in the first half when on display are the protagonists while adolescent version when it touches the "large" is lost completely. Guilt of his characters that begin to have questionable behavior without justification.
The attempt to show the Clones "normal" to reveal that between them and the real human being there is no difference is nothing striking either through the final scene in which Kathy and Tommy, from their former "Madame" to look for hope and answers. Responses that do not cover all the doubts and questions which the viewer can not help but remain unsatisfied and unhappy.
The film will be released in Italy March 25, 2011 under the title "Do not Leave Me"
