AT THE MOVIES #868                  MOVIES v CINEMA

 

Simon Morris spots the difference between what the Academy Awards want to give Oscars to and what audiences are prepared to spend their money on.

 

 

The worst person in the world is definitely “cinema”.  It’s Norwegian, it picked up Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival and it’s up for two Oscars this year.  It also features this extraordinary scene.

 

C’mon C’mon is also cinema – it stars Oscar-winner Joaquin Phoenix and Bafta nominee, 11-year-old Woody Norman – and it’s in black and white.  Directed by Mike Mills (Beginners).

 

Meanwhile Uncharted can only be a “movie”.   Based on a video game, it stars two A-listers, Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, and it travels the world looking for treasure.   Directed by Ruben Fleischer (Venom).
