Empire of Light received praise for Colman and Ward's performances and Roger Deakins's cinematography, but the screenplay was criticised. [ by whom?] At the 80th Golden Globe Awards, the film was nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama for Colman, while Ward received a nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role at the 76th British Academy Film Awards. It also received a nomination for Best Cinematography at the 95th Academy Awards. [4] Plot [ edit ] Empire of Light is a sweet, heartfelt, humane movie, which doesn’t shy away from the brutality and the racism that was happening in the streets outside the cinema: the Empire is showing Stir Crazy starring Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, directed by Sidney Poitier – a message of diversity, if 1981 Britain cared to listen. It’s clearly a labour of love for Sam Mendes: love requited.

The film follows a woman struggling with depression as she meets a trainee who unexpectedly connects with her. Through their relationship, she finds solace in her troubles. Although they both find comfort through their connection, there is still a sense that tragedy may be lurking just beneath the surface. Tangcay, Jazz (5 March 2023).

There were 20 other movies released on the same date, including The Whale, Detective Knight: Redemption and Father Stu: Reborn.A good old-fashioned prestige pic aimed squarely at adults, and I ate it up. It doesn’t aspire to change the world or anything, but it doesn’t need to! If you’re ready to add it to your DVD collection, there is some great news. Empire of Light is heading to DVD and Blu-ray later this month. Look out for it on Tuesday, Feb. 21. Yes, that is only a couple weeks away. I guess I’m one of the few who loved Empire of Light, as I fell hard for this deftly directed romantic drama, elevated by two of the most tender performances of the year courtesy of Olivia Colman and Micheal Ward. It’s a simple story, and maybe it bites off a bit more than it can chew, but it’s just so sincere - and so soulfully shot and scored. Filming began on 7 February 2022 at Margate on the Isle of Thanet in Kent. [10] [11] [12] The Dreamland Margate Cinema building was remodelled and renamed until 15 May 2022.
