Cemetery Junction

Thanks to Enrique
A place to keep track of what my favourite actresses are doing. Also some content on my favourite authors and books. And if I see a movie or TV show that I particularly like then I'll mention that too.

A lot of young actors are inexperienced, which means they lack confidence. Felicity Jones has been acting since she was nine and has done lots of film work, which means she is comfortable on camera and doesn't need a lot of hand-holding and mollycoddling, a great asset when you're working fast. Her character, Julie, has heard about women's lib and 60s permissiveness but is totally unaware that she is a caged bird, unwittingly controlled by a fiancé and a father who've mapped out her future as a good little wife. On screen, Felicity has a luminance that is hugely appealing, but also a retro quality that puts you in mind of the Julie Christies and Rita Tushinghams of yesteryear. That quality was hard to find because most young actresses seem very modern and knowing. Felicity can project a more old- fashioned mix of intelligence and innocence, and you can believe she's a smart woman blind to the realities around her.


Set in the 1970s, Cemetery Junction follows Freddie (Christian Cooke), who spends his life getting pissed and stirring up chaos with his two mates.The movie is due on 14 April 2010. And now the main event...
But while Freddie wants to escape his working-class world, friends Bruce (Tom Hughes) and Snork (Jack Doolan) are quite happy for things to carry on as they are.
Bagging himself a new job as a door-to-door salesman, Freddie bumps into old flame Julie (Felicity Jones)...
