Directed by Stephen Frears (``My Beautiful Laundrette,'' ``The Grifters,'' ``Dangerous Liaisons'') and written by Peter Morgan, who with Frears had made a well-received TV movie about Blair's rise to power, ``The Queen'' both impressed and frightened Mirren to such an extent that she just had to do it. The Negishiya, a 24-hour honky-tonk, catered to a salad of human types, grifters, hookers, hoods, gangsters, pimps, hustlers, boots, and gobs--the flotsam and jetsam of the postwar wasteland--and the writers, actors and directors come to soak up its declasse atmosphere. From The Grifters (1990) to The American President (1995), In Dreams and American Beauty, (both 1999), Bening's unaffected acting style can be vividly truthful. |
