Frost/Nixon

We went to Frost/Nixon yesterday. An excellent movie that I would recommend to all who are interested in politics. Actually, you don't need to be into politics to enjoy it - it's a fascinating study of what makes people tick, and how they interact.

Frank Langella's portrayal of Richard Nixon is excellent. In a certain light, he almost looks like him.

This was a very entertaining movie - it was a serious subject, but there was enough humour in it to keep me engaged. The action kept moving towards its inevitable ending, with enough detail of the period to keep the eye interested (without being a distraction - the wall paper in the hotel room reminds me of the wall paper in my own bedroom back home, though!). The movie was made by Ron Howard, who, you may remember, played Richie in Happy Days! He's now a well-respected director (apart from The Da Vinci Code, that is!).

There is plenty of information on the website if you're interested.

PS: I found the picture at the top on an Australian website.
