Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe narrator is Julie Christie. A half century earlier, Ms Christie starred in the film Fahrenheit 451 (1966), adapted from the Ray Bradbury novel that was prominently featured in Bookshop.
- GoofsInside the bookshop, modern Penguin Clothbound Classics can be seen on the shelves. These editions were put out in the last 20 years, bound to look like older styles, but are, indeed, recent publications.
- Quotes
Edmund Brundish: Old age is not the same thing as historical interest. Otherwise you and I would be far more interesting than we are.
Featured review
Chocolat anyone??
I wanted to like this film, I really did. Its nicely set, the costumes and the feeling of the time and place are quite accurate. The story is ok. Its just so very flat a film. I don't mind slowly paced films, but to make up for the lack of pace they need to be charming, or witty, or nuanced.....or at the very least original. All through this film I thought of Chocolat. Similar premise in both, but Chocolat is better scripted, acted and directed. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with The Bookshop, it just underwhelms. Maybe I should have watched it on a lazy Sunday afternoon, it passes the time harmlessly. A bit like a BBC period drama.
