Liam Madden’s Film Review: Sabrina

If you fancy a night in watching a DVD, then take a look at the selection available at Island Libraries. At just £1 per night, they’re a great bargain. Ed

When carbon-dating is not readily available and the hands of your watch mysteriously turn a shade of petrol-blue, float on buoyantly up towards the reaches of The Cassiopeans and Andromeda, for if you time it correctly a star shines there of such timeless beauty, that merely orbiting Venus can appear bland and flavourless.

Of course, in English the ‘Star of Hepburn’ was the quintessential, unobtainable, essence of true beauty. Yet legions of followers travelling throughout the infinite could actually agree on.

‘Sabrina’ – A historic recorded DVD dated by the numbers 1954, is not simply a film of ‘Classic’ quality from Ventnor Library on the Earth-plane of reincarnated loveliness. It is a window of clarity, that wipes away the condensation and ice that can easily form when travelling with peregrination.

Romantic in appearance and structure, with coyness and charm, this particular film is a rare surprise of immense worth and of course, highly irresistible that in 109 minutes demonstrates the sheer joy of love – always in motion.

Celestial and transcendental, the capturing of immense strength of love on film could defy physics itself and it is a credit to director and crew that it was even achieved.

In the grand jewellery-box of creation, that holds ‘The Classics’ in constant storage ready for discovery, ‘Sabrina’ simply justifies in nearly every angle and scene, many avenues of what it is about romance that is so appealing. Like all the classics it calls attention to virtues, change and commendable dialogue without becoming tiresome.

As if in the year on Earth of 1954, all was simply divine and the line that: “Paris is for lovers, perhaps that’s why I only stayed 35 minutes”¦”, has a ring of truth about it.

In the orbiting realm however, ‘The Star of Hepburn’ will always reliably and accurately be shining.
