Strange Goings-On in That Blessed Plot
EVEN the title seems weird. Compared with, say, Barchester Chronicles, Brideshead Revisited or just about any other classy mini-series to come out of Britain via PBS, Gormenghast just doesnt have the ring of a classic. The setting for this extravagant two-part PBS presntation, a BBC America and WGBH Boston co-production, is a vast, decrepit castle with owls in the attic, rats in the cellar and lunatics in the throne room -- not a proper fit either, within the traditional British scenery of rolling hills and dreaming spires. And whatever will an American audience make of the shows bizarre brand of humor, which seems inspired in equal measure by Shakespeares philosophical fools and those clowns on the iconoclastic British series The Goon Show?
Charitable Motives for a Racy Calendar, if Racy Is Still the Appropriate Word
Calendar Girls is not nearly as mortifying as one of the most recent films to use the phrase based on a true story -- this falls remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre -- though the real-life story of Girls is particularly horrifying to at least one person: 16-year-old Jem (John-Paul MacLeod). Learning that his mother, Chris (Helen Mirren); her best chum, Annie (Julie Walters); and all of her middle-aged to elderly female friends are going to pose nude on a calendar to raise money for a local charity is a terrifying prospect for the boy. Can anything be scarier for a teenage boy at his most self-conscious than learning his mom is at her most shameless and wants the whole town to know? It takes the sting out of Jems having been caught with a lads magazine featuring women with Bazooka City Post-its affixed to their breasts..

MOVIE GUIDE
Here is a selective listing by critics of The Times of new or noteworthy movies and film series playing this weekend in New York City. * denotes a highly recommended film or series. Ratings and running times are in parentheses. An index of reviews of films opening today appears on page 16. Now Playing * THE BORROWERS, starring John Goodman, Jim Broadbent and Celia Imrie. Directed by Peter Hewitt (PG, 83 minutes). This charming childrens film based on the books by Mary Norton combines a quaint, cozy style with skillful technological tricks. The title characters are believably tiny, and the film enjoys their ingenuity with much more playfulness than similar toy stories like The Indian in the Cupboard. Borrowers themselves need no introduction: they live in ordinary houses, and theyre the reason you can never find household objects that arent nailed down. With much visual wit, the film enjoys their antics (like climbing refrigerator magnets as if scaling the side of a cliff) and Mr. Goodmans fine, hammy villainy as a lawyer who wants to evict two families: the little Borrowers and the life-size Lenders. Mr. Goodman does especially well for an actor who played so many special-effects scenes to an empty fist (Janet Maslin).

Discordant Concerto, Played Upon Two Hearts
Anand Tuckers double biography of the renowned cellist Jacqueline du Pre (Emily Watson) and her sister, Hilary (Rachel Griffiths), is one of the most insightful and wrenching portraits of the joys and tribulations of being a classical musician ever filmed. At the same time, this study of two gifted sisters who are so close they can literally read each others minds is an astoundingly rich and subtle exploration of sibling rivalry and the volcanic collisions of love and resentment, competitiveness and mutual dependence that determine their lives. Before she died of multiple sclerosis in 1987 at 42, Jacqueline du Pre achieved Olympian stature as one of the worlds greatest musicians. Her signature piece, heard in fragments through much of the movie, was Elgars Cello Concerto in E minor, and its churning autumnal romanticism sustains the mood of the film as much as any of the actors performances..

A Teacher Gets a Lesson in Redemption
While BBC Americas film on spiritual epiphanies does have a preachy, feel-good undercurrent, it manages to be absorbing and better than it sounds.
A Timeless Spirit of Giving Melts That Hardened Heart
A Christmas Carol has been so candied over the years, starring everyone from Bill Murray to Scrooge McDuck, that in the popular imagination it has lost the dark vision of poverty that inspired Dickenss tale. But redemption as extreme as Scrooges has to come from the bitter depths of misanthropy. TNTs lively new film restores the hardheartedness of the pre-reformed Scrooge while retaining the delight he later finds in joining the human race. With a vivid texture of 19th-century Christmas festivities -- full of songs, dances and bowls of punch you can almost taste -- and with Patrick Stewart as a Scrooge whose transformation makes sense, this is a glorious Christmas Carol. Its greatest triumph is Mr. Stewarts performance. (He has played all the parts in his one-man stage version.) His Scrooge is a tough, vigorous businessman in late middle age, not the geezer seen in so many lesser versions. He mutters Humbug under his breath as if Christmas were truly beneath his notice. This impenetrable man will not be easily touched, even by ghosts.

Ratings and running times are in parentheses. An index of reviews of films opening today appears on page 9. Now Playing * THE APOSTLE, starring Robert Duvall and Farrah Fawcett. Directed by Mr. Duvall (not rated, 110 minutes). In a gutsy, gripping film that is unmistakably a labor of love, Mr. Duvall gives the performance of his career. He plays Sonny, a Southern preacher of vast charm and volcanic energy, as serious in his faith as he is flawed in nature. Driven to violence by trouble with his estranged wife, Sonny assaults her lover and finds himself on the run in the rural South. As he rebuilds his life, Mr. Duvall defines the mans very essence in unhurried, luxuriantly watchful scenes that capture the full flavor of Sonnys spiritual world. Real Southern parishioners contribute immeasurably to the churchgoing scenes in a film that never condescends to its subject or setting (Janet Maslin).

Dramatizing Nancy Mitfords Eccentric Family
Readers devoted to Nancy Mitfords sparkling, acerbic novels will recognize a moment of sheer hilarity on Masterpiece Theater when Linda Radlett asks the nurse to take her newborn daughter from the room. Oh do take it away, darling. Poor thing must have caught sight of itself in the glass, our heroine Linda says of the howling, unattractive infant, to whom she has taken an instant dislike. And anyone who does not know Mitfords fiction may wonder why she has such an adoring cult. Based on Mitfords best-known works, The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate, this dramatization offers a tepidly charming vision of an upper-class English family in the 1930s. Weaving in and out of both novels, the film turns Mitfords biting social comedies into a breezily amusing but uninspired film. Alan Bates and Anthony Andrews give deliciously witty performances, yet the film lacks the wry tone that lets Mitford get away with the most caustic observations, and her characters remain likable despite much cold-blooded behavior..

Rewarding Churchills Boorishness With Devotion
How did Winston Churchill prepare for the rigors of leading Britain through World War II? He moped about the countryside, smoking fat cigars, even during meals. He drank prodigious quantities of Champagne, although he could barely afford beer. He kept telling anyone within earshot what a great man he was. And he acted selfishly toward everyone from his wife to his butler, all of whom responded to his boorishness with devotion. This portrait of the once and future hero as lovably insufferable whiner is at the center of The Gathering Storm, a classy little movie that HBO is offering tonight. The wisdom of focusing on this low ebb in an overstuffed life may be debatable, but its hard to argue with the films casting, starting with Albert Finney as Churchill and Vanessa Redgrave as his long-suffering wife, Clementine, whom everyone here calls Clemmie..
