John Schlesinger

Darling är en brittisk romantisk dramafilm från 1965 i regi av John Schlesinger. Huvudrollsinnehavaren Julie Christie, som fick förkroppsliga det frigjorda och jämlika kvinnoidealet i 60-talsfilmer, belönades med en Oscar för bästa kvinnliga huvudroll.<br/><br/>Den unga och vackra modellen Diana Scott kommer från en enkel bakgrund, men är fast besluten att bli rik och berömd. Av en slump träffar hon TV-journalisten Robert Gold (Dirk Bogarde) och de inleder ett förhållande trots att de båda är gifta på var sitt håll. De rör sig båda i jetsetkretsar i "Swinging London". Diana blir dock snabbt uttråkad och det dröjer inte länge förrän hon börjar inleda relationer med andra och rikare män såsom Miles Brand (Laurence Harvey), VD för ett reklamföretag, och den italienske prinsen Cesare della Romita (José Luis de Vilallonga).<br/><br/>Winner of four BAFTAs and three Academy Awards including Best Actress for Julie Christie, Darling is the story of Diana Scott (Julie Christie) an ambitious model determined to make it to the top of the London fashion scene. Using her sexuality, she manipulates powerful men, moving from bed to bed on the presumption that fidelity means having only one man in it at a time, opportunistically bending her ambitions to take advantage of br/whatever (or whoever) the moment offers her, toying with the affections of two older men, played by Dirk Bogarde and Laurence Harvey. In doing so, she eventually becomes a prisoner of the jet-setting lifestyle she once yearned for.<br/><br/>EXTRAS:<br/>Language(s): English, Hard of Hearing Subtitles: English, Interactive Menu, Booklet, Bonus Footage, Documentaries: 'After a Fashion'., Image Gallery, Interviews: Sofia Coppola (film-maker); Frederic Raphael (writer); John Schlesinger (director)., Trailers

Med cowboyhatt och ett charmigt leende kommer Joe Buck (Jon Voight) från Texas till New York, där han är övertygad om att han har en framtid som välbetalt sällskap åt ensamma kvinnor. Det går inte alltid så bra, men han får hjälp av den småskumme och halvt utslagne fixaren Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman). Den osannolika duon utvecklar en vänskap som de aldrig tidigare varit nära. Oscarbelönad och hyllad som en av de bästa amerikanska filmerna någonsin.
