It came out in 1986...

The length of this video corresponds to QTs birthday.

i was russ meyer's personal assistant for a film festival and he openly said tarantino stole the gimp from his movie 'up'...

The Worrika Trilogy is Bills best film

One of my favourite actors.

George Clooney plays the same part in every movie

Did I misunderstand something? Didn't Cate Blanchett win an Oscar for playing Bob Dylan? No cross dressing or gender dysphoria that I recall.

And yet it's unavailable to stream anywhere.

God you're good! I look forward to your videos, very much :)

Congratulations, you're the gimp

BRING OUT THE GIMP

What a great personality and I don't find him strange he and his wife seem likereally neat people

I have yet to see a film that bill was in that he wasn’t brilliant in. I especially loved in as the washed up rock star trying to make a comeback in Love Actually. I laughed in almost every scene he was in.

How can I see it

I appreciate the recommendation, and this is a well-done video 👍 Still, and speaking as a trained actor who worked 10 years in regional theatre, you cast Nighy because you want "that Crayola color" so to speak. I rewatch Page Eight frequently because I delight in Nighy's performance, and I've fallen to sleep listening to his BBC Radio 4 Charles Paris more times than I can count, but I cannot say he's demonstrated much range in this period of maturity since, say, Pirates. 🤭🤷

He was amazing,quietly infiltrated the movie, so beautiful

Excellent adaptation of the brilliant Penelope Fitzgerald's book.

Incredible movie and performances. Clarkson is absolutely horrifying.

Never saw the post credits and looked for The Gimp, I just assumed it was secretly Tarantino himself. And not only that but having to get wardrobe to purchase a new costume wasn’t necessary 😉

An outstanding actor with another outstanding performance; but, while the movie is good the novel is even better; see the movie but be sure to read the novel and then put the book aside for a time and then read it again. Penelope Fitzgerald’s novels need to be read several times.

It was good.

He's so great!

My favorite is "The Girl in the Cafe"

He was a struggling actor for decades until his breakout role in Love Actually which made him a star over night and much sought after by directors. He said, "If I'd known how my career would turn out I wouldn't have been so cranky."

I still think his greatest performance was in The Girl in the Cafe. Both brilliant performances.

Well..can't say I'd "like" to watch it, but maybe need to, later.

Sounds like a dreadful movie. The quality of the production is irrelevant. What sense of art and of life would have evil win over good?

Bill Nighy is an incredible actor who let's the stillness show the emotions without words. He is fantastic in everything he does because his approach, wether in comedy or drama has his full focus without the distractions around his character.

I’m a big fan! Bill is great in everything.

Thank you for this fabulous review.. I have this book, unread, on my bookshelf. I plan to read it immediately and then I will watch the film. I have always admired Bill Nighy’s acting.

Compares to Chocolat.

Fantástica interpretación!

Thankyou for this video & indeed many of the comments made. I live overseas & shall have to buy the DVD to watch this. Bill Nighy really impressed me in 2011 when a brilliant KZbin video was made of him portraying a city financier & in an interview giving his views on The Robin Hood tax - still relevant today.

When I saw this years ago, the amount of quiet emotion he packed into one of the final screens was stunning. I agree!!!

My own personal little headcanon was that the gimp was independently wealthy, bankrolled the place, and this whole shtick was his thing. What did Janice say about Ralph in The Sopranos? Bottom from the top? Something like that

BS DONT LISTEN HEs A JEW

Agree, this is a brilliant film. Bill Nighy is an amazing, intelligent, and insightful actor. Thanks for this very moving film critique.

I adore this movie, and it’s about time to see it again. Bill Nighy is indeed at his best in this role.

Beautiful film.

Such a cogent review of an humynkind systems realism film. Thank you.

I have The Bookshop on dvd so I can re-watch it. The film is based on the 1978 novel of the same name by Penelope Fitgerald, was short listed for the Booker prize, and is an equally excellent story. Bill Nighy is always amazingly understated as an actor except for maybe his role as Billy Mack in Love Actually.

WARNING. She tells the end !!!

What about Sometimes Always Never? I went to see it 3 times. It was fantastic.

I couldn’t click fast enough on the link when I saw the title

Spoiler alert.

This movie is one of my favorites.. Nighy’s, an excellent actor. Conveys so much without words. Not easy to do. Thank you.

Excellent critique! Thank you.

Love Nighy's work and this film in particular. You hit the nail on the head here.

A brilliant critique of a gem of a movie. Many thanks
