CAPTURING MARY is about being out of time and place and being caught. An excellent, thought provoking film. I watched this for the sake of two actors I admire and they didn't. The story is confusing, but Maggie & David have terrific. They only have one short scene together, but it's. I'm a fan of David's comedic work and am aware that. In reality he is a. The Making Of on the DVD shows. I. look forward to the commentary too. I hadn't watched "Joe's Palace". Maggie is simply magic. I read Greville as. No wonder she could. It is what it is. If you watched Joe's Palace, you'll get it. For those. who called it rubbish, you're absolutely wrong. WWII was a beastly time. This is a good objective look on the. No different from now, same atrocities, same indifference. Inflictions of most civilians. So watch it, it's a history. You need to view Joe's Palace first.

Was the whole place a ghostly construct of Joe's. It would certainly help me to see "Joe's Palace" and. Poliakov may have done, just for some hints. This story. is left wide open. Is Joe the keeper of the afterworld. Was Greville. the Devil? It could be that it's a shabbily constructed story with a. Worthwhile. watching Dame Maggie regardless. I love Poliakoff's movies, but this one was unconvincing in bringing. Poliakoff as part of the "Special Features" on the DVD.
