Ana de Castro @decastro.bsky.social · 27/09/2024Outlets will mention Downton Abbey and Harry Potter in the headlines and leave Gosford Park (2001) for the last paragraph. I get it, obviously. But it's perhaps the closest a non-Agatha Christie story will get to Christie's brilliance. And Dame Maggie Smith is the heart of the film. Don't miss out. 070
Ana de Castro @decastro.bsky.social · 27/09/2024One of the greatest. It was an honor to grow up with your work, ma'am. Gosford Park remains my favorite. British cinema will never be the same. 030
