Twenty Films To Look Forward To In 2015
You're gonna spend a looot of time looking at screens this year.
Fifty Shades of Grey
Director: Sam Taylor-Johnson
Starring: Jamie Dornan, Dakota Johnson, Jennifer Ehle
Released: February 12
I pity the cinema employees who will have to swab down those seats. The film recently got an R rating in the United States (the equivalent of our more generous MA15+) due to “unusual behaviour”, but it looks like capitalism as usual to me: a slightly kinkier Pretty Woman, complete with Romantic Excursions. Still, director Sam Taylor-Johnson’s Nowhere Boy (2009) shows she has the chops for sexy stuff, and Jamie Dornan has a gratifyingly intense gaze and looks good shirtless.
Add enough chilly cinematography and dreary Beyoncé covers and this has the potential to be 2015’s guiltiest pleasure.
