As much as I would wish for a

As much as I would wish for a biopic of the rambunctious Welsh poet, this chapter of Dylan's life is gorgeously portrayed by Celyn Jones with a remarkably vivid screenplay that draws you into a world which astonishingly, was shot in a mere 18 days in Swansea, Wales. Bravo.

This is a thoughtful film about a complex

This is a thoughtful film about a complex poet who struggled with his bad-boy reputation. I went to see it one evening out of interest in Dylan Thomas. The performance has stuck with me more than most films iï¿ 1/2(TM)ve seen. Elijah Wood plays John Brinnen, the academic who brings Thomas to the US, and struggles to contain a star that is burning brightly, but not for much longer. Itï¿ 1/2(TM)s a sensitive performance from Wood. Celyn Jones plays Thomas, and wrote the screenplay. Thomas was a larger than life character who played up a celebrity character the world wanted to see. Jones plays this part well, but it is always a struggle to play your heroes, especially in biopics where we can be confined by the settled dust. This is a film made on a small budget, but it has big heart. It has a Hollywood star, very much outside Hollywood, involved in playing the part of someone trying to deal with the clash between reality and celebrity. It has some good character performances, particularly by Shirley Henderson and Kelly Reilly. Iï¿ 1/2(TM)m a fan of Dylan Thomas, and wasnï¿ 1/2(TM)t sure iï¿ 1/2(TM)d Enjoy this, but was surprised as it focussed on a specific event in time and space where his world was falling apart. I rarely watch a film in the cinema more than once, but Iï¿ 1/2(TM)ve seen this twice. The first time because it was about Dylan Thomas; the second because it was an interesting film. I recommend it, and watch it a couple of times.
