Thin and multifaceted play by plays about the novel of two married writers
London entered the "twenty twenties", a happy era between the first and second world wars, the revolutionary change of cultural and social reservoirs of society: Jazz, Art Deco, Radio, Sound Cinema. Victorian hypocris deeperates, modern reigns everywhere, life seems easy as dance. Time of opportunities that do not miss the young aristocrat of Vita Saquil-West (Gemma Arteron) - the writer, the wife of Harold Nikalson's diplomat (Rupert Penni-Jones), the mother of two boys, the former beloved writer Violet Trefusis, the current - Duchess Wellington, who threw out because of her husband and children. Vita's husband loves her and maintains open relationships in marriage; Mother, Lady Saxill-West (Isabella Rosselini) - condemns, but her own feelings are most important, it is important to know what she wants and why.

"Vita and Virginia": watch a movie online
The melodrama "Vita and Virginia" was delivered by the eponymous play of the actress and Writener Eilein Atkins (where Vyat's role was blown by Vanessa Redgray). The play of two writers included a lot of their personal letters, according to which the dissertation and director of the film, the Batton, which became co-author of the scenario. The female team of the project was reinforced by Gemma Arton - Producer Ribbon, and Composer Isobel Waller Bridge, created for historical, seemingly paintings, soft modern soundtrack. Despite the recognizable scenery of that era and the costumes close to it, the events of a hundred years ago are absolutely devoid of dust of ages and a distance, habitual for the audience "costume" ribbons. The moments of the past are synchronized with our electronic time. There is no distance and between characters, they are all a long-standing friends on the Bloomsbury group, who do not have the secrets and in all of each other supporting or relatives. Only the main characters are divided - at first.
Indeed, first it looks like a seduction: Vita manifests the initiative and pressure, she is looking for dating, meetings and prepositions, she fascinates. Virginia is silent. The closures in closed dresses with a floral ornament, she herself looks like a lone sprout. She obviously does not need passion, and their relatives even laugh, knowing that she avoids bodily intimacy. In the touches of Virginia to the typographic machine and the metal lites more tenderness than in conversations with people. But Vita insists on his presence in her life, he enters into correspondence and even offers her husband's publishing house, Leonard Wolph (Peter Ferdinando) own romance. Books willingly bind, but Vita knows that as a writer Virginia is much better. And Virginia begins to feel a true attachment to caring her friend, stretches to her, but this is the way to nowhere. And here is a new favorite of Vita, Maria Campbell. For Virginia, this is a heavy blow - in the waves of the river, to which it comes, as if her future end is already reflected.
And suddenly, this little death of hopes and illusions gives the writer a powerful creative impulse: Virginia Wulf creates "Orlando", a fantasy novel about a man who lives so long that has become a woman - and devotes him to Vita. Instantly roles are changing: the Virginia-writer's injured on the field of relationships is now full of energy and easily commands suddenly the orculent girlfriend, who has become its muse and character. Each of them seems to be looking for and finds in another something important and vital: Vita is a way to comprehend itself, Virginia - the soil for creativity and vitality. Both are not enough to live feelings, their analysis is needed, research, artistic incarnation.
The film of the Batton is doing the same. He tactfully immerses the viewer into a sensual, almost tangible medium, allows one to be present among the many not always harmonious, but always heart and honest relationships, helps to trace the process of the origin of experiences - as well as the consequences that they entail them, their explosive power, which is difficult To aware. For their spontaneous fluidity, you can see the unshakable coast of creativity, which has repeatedly saved Wolfe from madness - and it may have occurred from the impossibility of living any feelings and cope with them. It is easier to lock them, do not touch. Our fears keep our treasures, and someone needs someone to help them extract. The one who learns you.
