Amelia (PG) 111 mins"Defying the impossible. Living the dream."
Director: Mira Nair Screenplay: Ronald Bass and Anna Hamilton Phelan Cinematography: Stuart Dryburgh Original music: Gabriel Yared
Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby) plays Amelia Earhart, the legendary aviatrix who was guided by a profound curiosity for everything life had to offer. Earhart's early aviation triumphs and meteoric rise to fame and fortune were propelled along by her tempestuous partnership and eventual marriage to publisher George Putnam (Richard Gere). Bound by mutual ambition, admiration and ultimately a great love, their bond could not be broken even by her brief passionate affair with Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor). Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic, and was the first pilot, man or woman, to fly unaccompanied across the Pacific. During her attempt to be the first to fly around the world in an equatorial flight, her life was tragically cut short by her mysterious and untimely disappearance over the South Pacific in 1937.
"It's a creatively and technically accomplished film with thrills and emotional action in equal measure." Urban Cinefile
"Sound performances and impeccable period detail." Roger Ebert
