notes on a scandal

this movie reminded me of a Patricia Highsmith novel with its amoral centre, complex characters, and wit. Judi Dench so convincingly drew me into her petty, vicious world that I started cheering for Cate Blanchett, the wicked adulterer pedophile who seemed utterly innocent and pure in comparison. Great performances by both ladies, Bill Nighy and the irresistable Andrew Simpson. totally and intelligently fun.
