With the imminent release of Rose Matefeo’s brand new romcom Starstruck on BBC Three at the end of April, this coming year marks a watershed moment in broadcasting history with most BBC Three comedy either starring, written by or created by women. BBC Three will be the first UK channel to achieve this landmark in female representation with 58% of long-form scripted comedy written by women.
Upcoming titles include Lazy Susan, Starstruck and Ellie and Natasia plus the second series of both In My Skin and Back to Life.
In addition to this, the BBC today announces four new BBC Comedy Slices for BBC Three, all of which are written by and/or star female talent: Ladybaby, Amicable, Dinosaur and Britney, which results in the majority of comedy programmes on BBC Three now being female led.
Kate Daughton, outgoing Head of Comedy at the BBC, says: “Building on the huge success of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Daisy May Cooper, this marks a monumental achievement and is testament to the fact the most pioneering and exciting new voices in comedy are increasingly female.”
Kate leaves the Comedy Commissioning team today having made a tremendous impact overseeing a raft of female first titles. Since Kate’s arrival in 2017 she has commissioned and nurtured Fleabag, Mum, Ghosts, Gavin & Stacey: Christmas Special (2019), This Time With Alan Partridge, Back to Life, The Goes Wrong Show, Out of Her Mind, Two Doors Down, In My Skin and Man Like Mobeen. Alongside the forthcoming Witchfinder, Alma’s Not Normal and Stephen Merchant series The Offenders (w/t).
Shane Allen, Director of BBC Comedy, says: “Five years ago there were still articles asking where all the funny women were. That hoary old nonsense can finally be dispensed with once and for all. It’s a level playing field with the most vibrant and dynamic work coming through from females writers and writer performers who are elevating the art form of comedy and expanding its horizons. As for Kate Daughton, no longer will she curse at me for loud sneezing in the office. Partly because she’s leaving and mostly because we’ve not been in the office. Truly bereft; in denial that she’s off and we’re lucky to have had her for so long.”
Charlotte Moore, Chief Content Officer, says: “Kate’s impeccable taste, whip smart comedy brain and beguiling ways with talent have had a transformative impact on the comedy output in her time here. The fact that BBC Three can claim to be the first UK channel with a majority of female led and written scripted comedy is in large part down to her vision and passion for backing genre defining female creatives. She’ll be sorely missed but thankfully leaves behind a terrific legacy of shows ahead.”
你很难说它挑战了什么，也很难说它屈从了什么；你很难说它修正了什么，也很难说它强化了什么；你很难不被它的工整和细腻感动，也很难不被它的刻意和回避扫兴。它说了一个无关性的故事，用一种假装什么都和性有关的方式
女主说她丈夫死后她再也不会去假装高潮，而观众似乎也不必因为终镜看到了高潮而非得表态满意过程。“双人斗室由性开论”是一种亚类俗套。相对最近的罗马房间、马德里1987，稍远的那部著名的都市仲夏夜……应该说把玩此类素材，英人自有其独到的叙事武器：冷幽默。各种荤腥术语脱口而出然后在对其进行诙谐自讽。可这种特色能量半个小时之后也就像女主的婚姻生活那样陷入乏味，更别说撑满90多分钟？实在太难！这时又不敢像法国人那样用全然放开随性自然的大尺度去助燃（说助燃其实不够准确，“坦诚相待毫无顾忌”应该是此类题材的头号标配！若非如此便不足以弥补不换场景俩人话唠还不是喜剧所必然产生的单调乏味。大家想想是不是这个道理？），甚至为了避免“说到做到”还要反复依靠女儿的电话来给自己“救场”？
问：这个世界上做什么最快乐？答：爱。和自己。
虽然情节完全可以预料，但最后Emma在镜头前完全展露自己的身体真的让人感动，这个爱尔兰男生也完全接住了影后的戏（而且太帅了
为什么…为什么人跟人要通过消费关系才能获得治愈…看的时候总觉得有种不舒服的感觉。
理解，但基于个人立场不喜欢，提供高质量情欲体验的圣人和言行举止非常维多利亚时期的白人女性，这样的梦幻组合就像少女浪漫爱情文学那样不现实，甚至会作为坏榜样，但有其治愈性。again，基于个人立场的偏见。
open minded。相遇是为了治愈。外求有的时候也是机遇！
温柔静谧的对话空气像音乐盒的flow。最后一个镜头女主看镜中自己好美丽。想流泪。
Cyber stalker 是挺可怕，互相让对方打开自己，身体和心灵。俩人都太有魅力了吧
虽然过于理想化，过于干净和体面……但是内核，关于女性的自我探索不受年龄的限制，这一点很重要。
精巧的四幕剧形式，以肉体买卖作为契机呈现人与人关系的微妙变化，最终达成与他人与自己的和解。当然这种剧情应该只存在在电影里，面对这么可爱的小哥只应该大搞特搞，汤普森最后对镜全裸还是蛮敢，对电影外的观众来说她又何尝不是里奥·格兰德，缓解大家对年华老去的焦虑并正视自己的欲望。
这部电影就是一个fantasy.
老修女遇欢喜佛。结尾，艾玛汤普森卸去了通过一个半小时积累、已足令观众信服的所谓老女人的魅力，露出了年龄的真相——一具衰老松弛的肉体，然后露出了玩味的笑容。BRAVO！
Emma Thompson 无比珍贵独特的一次表演，戏外的她有多开朗多口无遮拦，戏里展现起对性爱的羞耻与自卑时就有多惹人怜爱。而即便在角色最 vulnerable 的时刻，她的表演也是那么 honest, generous & dignified。新人男主 Daryl Mccormack 毫不逊色，一双浅瞳大眼睛平静如水，映照女主的情绪并全盘吸收，how indulgent。几乎从未离开酒店的摄影和轻快顺滑的配乐是画龙点睛之笔。情节上觉得有趣的是，女主每次在性爱得到满足和解放后，本我都会膨胀得使她变得丑陋。Sexual fulfilment makes her so unhinged it's actually a very accurate observation.
演的真好，好多地方笑死。最喜欢藏标签那个镜头，Emma Thompson太可爱了。
她跟男孩坦诚自己的无礼，表示对他工作的尊重理解，并为曾经给学生安上淫荡的污名道歉。
一二次约会的紧张小心翼翼拍的挺动人，但转而三四次约会又落入原生家庭、自我和解的窠臼。主题是accept yourself，accept your body仅仅是几句台词以及结尾一笔带过，要是对accept our body的探讨多一些也许会更喜欢。
“叫鸡应该被纳入社会公共福利”哈哈哈，小哥确实是三观超正,言语中给人的慰藉不逊于心理医生,(而《诊疗椅上的谎言》中则有心理医生通过性行为安慰病人,乱套了不是)。
设计很精巧，我自己最被戳中的是第二次会面的时候她为他年轻健美的身体感到overwhelmed的那段。他邀请她跳舞时她的一半沉迷一半清醒也是不错的处理。最后一次的遇见学生和靠自己高潮稍微是有点太刻意了。面对镜子的裸体也是个技巧高超的结束，但就总是让人在这个片子里需要面对“太有技巧”这件事。
Nancy好惹人怜爱！Leo 体贴又温柔！男主肯定是有mommy issue 的，我也
