Notes on a Scandal (2006) DVD
Sexuality, Age and Attraction: what is moral, when?
Director: Richard Eyre
Starring: Judi Dench, Cate Blanchett
A twist and turn film with great acting and a moral message that encompasses age, sex, the double standard and the public, the moral majority who relish an attractive woman gone astray. Notes of a Scandal will bring moments of spontaneous fun, clever insight into human nature and moments of repulsion and anger to those who think sex with a young underage person is wrong, reprehensible without equivocation unless sanctioned by marriage.
In Notes of a Scandal morality is turned upside down, the good and bad dichotomy reversed and reversed again while the Pacific Palisades, California Look Out Point towering above the Will Rogers State Park gets center stage for those intimate quiet moments upon which the film's meaning depends.
A good film for quiet restless moments when something interesting, provocative will quell life's multiple distractions.
