Stiff Upper Lips review

February 7, 2010 | |

Sinyor revels in the snooty aristos, the wrinkled retainers, the corseted beauties, the bons mots and buttoned-up passions of BritLit cinema at its most risibly predictable. The scoop, set in 1908 and divided into ‘chapters’ introduced by curlicued intertitles, is a nonsensical love story that follows the sentimental education (‘I want my sexy awakening and I want it randomly!’) of callow Emily (Cates), torn between Lawrentian, grammatically-hung scum-of-the-clay George (Pertwee) and the upper crust suitors favourite by her aunt Agnes (Scales) and halfwit brother Edward (West). As the characters pull out Ivory Vestibule through despite a kind of less than Immense Tour of Tuscany and India, the warm up and libidinousness, linens and (portable) lawns, fillies and facial hair take their toll. Time silly, resolutely mark on, and beautifully acted, this may be pronounced, but it’s a delight. While the gags, visual and uttered, are precise enough to pasquil the excesses of individual movies, the tone remains doting, from the opening salvo against Chariots of Fire bombast to Glover’s ludicrously time-serving underling and Ustinov’s dotty colonial plantation proprietor. Spiffing!
