	Guardian Unlimited Film Reviews Possession
		Possession is a very literary work, a cross between Henry James's The Aspern Papers and John Fowles's The French Lieutenant's Woman.
		The second pair are obsessive, possessive modern scholars Maud Bailey (Gwyneth Paltrow), a professor in women's studies at Lincoln University, and Roland Michell (Aaron Eckhart), a raffish American research student, who are brought together by a shared interest in tracking down evidence to convince the world that the married Ash had an affair with LaMotte.
		The first pair, seen in flashback, are eminent Victorian poets, the Browningesque Randolph Henry Ash (Jeremy Northam) and the unmarried, Rossetti-like Christabel LaMotte (Jennifer Ehle).

	The Mediadrome - Film - Reviews - Possession
		In fact, while watching the film, I couldn't help but be reminded of other romantic book-based movies like The French Lieutenant's Woman and The Bridges of Madison County.
		LaBute's brutal take on relationships is what gives the film its edge, as the animosity that keeps the lovers apart in the modern day is in complete contrast to the unconditional love that binds the poets in the past.
		By condensing A.S. Bryant's massive 550-page tome into the space of a one-hour-and-forty-two-minute film, certain plot elements were bound to get the short end of the stick.

	The Twickenham Museum : Twickenham Film Studios
		One of the oldest surviving studios in the country, the St Margarets-based film company is perhaps best known for its association with The Beatles and a string of box-office hits including Alfie (1966), The Eagle Has Landed (1976), The French Lieutenant’s Woman (1981) and Shirley Valentine (1989).
		Today, although the work at Twickenham Film Studios is centred on television programmes and commercials, there is a continuing film presence, with directors and producers relying upon the studio’s state-of-the-art facilities to complete their motion pictures.
		One of the first to take advantage of the immediate surge of film-making was the Hamburg-born film producer Julius Hagen, who secured the lease of the studio and renamed it Twickenham Film Studios.

	Film Review: Possession
		Neil LaBute's adaptation of A S Byatt's Booker prize winning novel shuffles ancient and modern better than Karel Reisz in The French Lieutenant's Woman, possibly because it is intrinsic to the plot, while Harold Pinter's script imposed a contemporary parallel universe onto John Fowles's tale of forbidden passion.
		Surprisingly for an American writer/director, known for acerbic, misogynistic, cynical films (In The Company Of Men, Your Friends And Neighbours), the 19th century scenes are infinitely more rewarding.
		The performances of Northam, Ehle and Lena Headey, as Christabel's lover, are deeply felt, while Paltrow is miscast - she can't do intellectual - and Eckhart's designer stubble begins to become an issue - why is it always the same length?

		You might reasonably assume that since (a) Bridget is in her tiny pants, (b) it's snowing and (c) it takes about three seconds' screen time to get there, the finale is around the corner From the Globe.

	Refracting the Gaze
		In this paper, I shall examine spectator and narrative configurations in three films that attempt to disengage these two processes of objectifying women: Harold Pinter's The French Lieutenant's Woman, Spike Lee's She's Gotta Have It, and Agnes Varda's Vagabond ( Sans toit ni loi).
		The French film, Sans toit ni loi, was released in 1986 and appeared in the United States retitled Vagabond.
		Once again, the title raises some questions for us, in this case because the original French title (which literally translates "without roof or law") lacks the prejudicial connotations of the English version, "vagabond," which tends prematurely to objectify the central female figure, whose objecthood is much problematized by the film.

		Irons had been assured he would be done in time to start work on The French Lieutenant's Woman, but when the time came, shooting on Brideshead was still not finished, and Grenada offered the actor a difficult choice: give up his first leading role in a feature film, or walk out on the series.
		When The French Lieutenant's Woman hit the theaters in 1981, Irons' position as an international star was consolidated.

		On 11 June 1685, the Duke of Monmouth, landed at Lyme Regis, the west country town now more often associated with the novel and more recently film, The French Lieutenant’s Woman, hoping to wrest the throne from James.
