Sprawling, well made but not flawless biopic
STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday MorningIn their latest collaboration, Michael Winterbottom and Steve Coogan explore the world of Paul Raymond, the visionary porn producer who was one of the pioneering forces that transformed London’s Soho in to an erotic industry, bringing live shows to the forefront and launching the iconic Men’s Only magazine, which eventually saw him become the richest man in Britain. But it also fueled his self destructive edge, finishing his marriage to Jean (Anna Friel), the mother of his children, and leaving her for forthright starlet Fiona (Tamsin Egerton), while leading his daughter Debbie (Imogen Poots) into a world of drug fueled self destruction.
Coogan and Winterbottom are the forces behind a series of works that are anti mainstream but still have the star power to appeal to a fairly wide audience, if not commercially, then critically. Having explored the life of Tony Wilson, the founder of Factory Records and an attempt by two men to produce the work of Tristram Shandy, here they have equally meaty subject matter in the shape of Paul Raymond, one of the key figures in the now massive porn industry, but this time around, there seems to be more of a real dramatic input than one driven for laughs. This is a gambit that hardly fails to pay off, really drawing and absorbing you in to the world of Raymond, even if it does maybe trail off a little in places.
A wide array of comic talent are on hand in supporting roles and making cameos, from Little Britain stelwarts Matt Lucas and David Walliams, to the likes of Chris Addison in a key role as an egocentric, coke fueled pornographer, to Stephen Fry and even Simon Bird. But as I said, comedy doesn’t seem to be the order of the day, so all this seems bizarrely redundant. Coogan fits the lead role perfectly, embodying his real life character with the larger than real life personality and character traits he had, while a naturally attractive female supporting cast adorn other key roles.
Lacking the dynamism and effortless energy of 24 Hour Party People, but at least not full of the pretentious self indulgence of A Cock and Bull Story, The Look of Love doesn’t quite manage to set the screen alight, but still leaves your senses and emotions on a string. ***
