Love Actually

YEAR 1994

DIRECTOR Richard Curtis

STARRING Hugh Grant, Martine McCutcheon and Liam Neeson

WRITER Richard Curtis

OVERVIEW Follows the lives of eight very different couples in dealing with their love lives in various loosely and interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London, England.

OPINION  Lovely, heart wrenching, entwined, poignant, romantic and wonderful, but mostly funny. I absolutely love the intelligent Curtis dialogue and have enormous gratitude for his lack of condescension. I love Nighy and Grant and McCutcheon,  Keira Knightley…and Neeson…and more than ever Emma Thompson, who can still bring me to tears after 12 viewings.. Again Richard Curtis is a genius!!! See also ‘Four weddings and a Funeral’. America copied’ Love Actually’ in a fairly good ‘Valentine’s Day’ with Ashton Krutcher
