The White Countess

Sofia's family tries to leave without her. The vibrancy this bleak but ultimately uplifting film possesses comes almost entirely from one performance: Natasha Richardson is utterly delightful as the 'White Countess' of the title.....her finest performance.

Outside, it is Shanghai in 1936 and the world is late for its appointment with war. Marveled at the cinematography, the great sets, the muted and beautiful fliar of colours.

In another bar, which is not the right kind of bar, Mr. Jackson overhears a conversation involving the Countess Sofia Belinsky (One night, Sofia sees a situation developing in the shabby little bar where Jackson drinks, and quietly speaks to the blind man.
