Good is a 2008 drama film based on the stage play of the same name by Cecil Philip Taylor. It stars Viggo Mortensen, Jason Isaacs, and Jodie Whittaker, and was directed by Vicente Amorim. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on 8 September 2008.
Producer Miriam Segal had wanted to turn C. P. Taylor's play into a film ever since she saw it in 1981. Good premiered in London in September 1981, with Alan Howard as John Halder, and transferred to Broadway in 1982. "I was simply overwhelmed by the play, and knew immediately I would do whatever was necessary to produce the film adaptation", Segal has stated.
The film was poorly received by critics, and its release was limited.[2] On Rotten Tomatoes it has a 33% rating based on 72 reviews. The site's consensus reads: "Though ambitious, Good stumbles in the transition from stage to screen, and Mortensen's performance isn't enough to cover its flaws".[3] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 40 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[4]Historian Frank McDonough praised the film, recommending it on the historical podcast 'We Have Ways of Making You Talk'.[5]
The director wanted a shot of us driving over the hump-backed railway bridge, on our way to the forecourt. It would certainly have had a poignancy to it, but I could only picture the frisky pony taking off down the steep descent, and Jeremy not being able to control it.
Perhaps after months of being unassuming John Dowell, something of Robin Ellis had to be let loose again! You can watch the entire film of The Good Soldier on YouTube now!
The film is a stunning evocation of a time long past and individuals living lives within intriguing relationships. As noted, the film gains much with the beautiful cinematography. And in that It would be sure great to get a blu-ray of the production.
Dear Robin
I was surprised to see your blog post yesterday in my emails, especially as I recognised the Sprudelhof in Bad Nauheim before reading your story. I know it well, I grew up in Friedberg, which is just south of Bad Nauheim, and I have to correct a couple of small but important errors. Elvis Presley was stationed in Friedberg, at Ray Barracks, though he did rent a house in Bad Nauheim. And, as another of your readers noticed, it should say Jugendstil, which is the German word for Art Nouveau!
As alway, enjoyed the blog and wishing you all the best.

Hello Robin I brought the DVD then read the book, I had to hunt for it and in the end had to order it form Waterstones.The film I think stayed faithfully to the book. I was quite sad at the end, when you thought you had found your love,only to find that your lady was scared at heart.It was a beautifully made film it brought a lost era to life, acted by actors who New their craft

Thank you for this blog. I saw The Good Soldier and also The Europeans. The characters you play in both have some similarities. It is sad to think of the people now gone; when I re-watch the 1975 Poldark I remember that Paul Curran is gone, probably Frank Middlemass (is that his last name?). Recently ITV did another Ford Madox Ford, a mini-series featuring Bernard Cumberbatch in the uncertain hero role.
Hi there, I have to correct you about something you wrote about Nauheim. The name of the German (although after my opinion it has its origin in Austria, but not sure about it) style is Jugendstil, not Judenstil. The word Jude means Jew, so if you would translate it, it would say Jewstyle. Jugend means youth.

Such a beautiful film from an extraordinary novel; I saw it when I was quite young and while much of the adult themes sailed right over my head, I was stunned by it. I am new to your blog and am happy to know that you are leading such an idyllic life. American fan here of many decades, enjoyed your cameo on Poldark while savoring memories of the original.
Can you tell me what she was like as a person? I cannot find a lot of articles nor any interviews about her or with her. As as actor portraying her husband, did you find yourself attracted to her? Was she a consummate professional? Was she kind?
I have some 15+ year-old 400ASA colour print bulk 35mm in the freezer that is now showing signs of deterioration, about a stop slower and higher background, and some Ilford "Mark V" b&w of similar age that is still good (and very nearly finished :-(
Roll film does seem to deteriorate more than 35mm, probably for at least two reasons. One is the documented interaction between the emulsion and the backing paper (or the ink thereon), the other possibly because the metal packaging of 35mm may help reduce the effect of background radiation ... though I'd guess if the radiation has just found it's way through a freezer, one more bit of tinplate isn't going to make much difference.
I've a (bad?) habit of buying a "brick" or bulk can of one emulsion or another, getting to grips with it, then deciding to try something new or different ... so often ending up with two or three rolls "spare". These often get used at (much) later date, hence my experience with long term storage !!
In a freezer, there's probably more risk from ice crystals than anything else. You need to be really really sure that your film is protected in very air-tight containers (at freezer temperatures, many plastic containers harden to the point of not being very air-tight) (heat-sealed freezer bags work best), and you need to put some moisture absorbent in the container a few days before freezing the film.
The lenses are of course of extreme importance, and I also realise that some cameras have features like double exposure, bracketing, program settings etc. But I am wondering what, on a basic level, makes some analog cameras better than others?
As you say, you can think of a camera body as a pretty simple thing. It is just a light-tight box to hold the film (or sensor). If you go shopping for one, there are obviously many choices, and like anything, you just compare features (depending on which are important to you) and pick one that fits your budget.
First consideration for film photography is film size. Are you going to be shooting 135 film? Then narrow your choices to a 135 film body. Do you want a camera that advances the film automatically? Do you want autofocus? What metering options would you like? What exposure options do you want? Is full manual exposure OK, or do you want program exposure modes? Do you want a built-in flash? How many frames per second should the camera be able to shoot? Do you want multiple exposure capability? What about exposure compensation, and automatic bracketing?
How does the camera feel in your hands? What about robustness? What environmental extremes do you need the camera to be able to handle? Is the camera in good working condition? If it breaks, what are your repair/replacement options?
Take a look at the Nikon F6 just for comparison purposes. That's Nikon's last flagship 135 film body, and about as advanced a film camera as can be found. Have a read through the sales brochure / features / specifications and see which features look appealing. It will give you an idea of the possibilities, and then you can look for a camera within your budget that has the features that are important to you.
If a camera was mechanically well made, it was more likely to have good ergonomics and have precise controls that gave me confidence in what I was doing. A well made camera will also be more dependable, which is another confidence builder and frustration remover. The selection of good but affordable lenses meant that I could experiment with different lenses without spending too much money. A Leica has great dependability and is mechanically well made but I couldn't afford to get a second lens, so I didn't end up owning one for long.
Knowledge of the film you are using, it strengths and limitations and how to manipulate the development time to suit the adjustments you MAY have to make when you expose it outside of its optimum latitude. ( pushing or pulling your development time when you have less than optimum ASA film or want to have artistic license to be creative.)
Unlike a digital frame, a film frame costs money and resources and cannot be instantly reviewed. In the end, you want the camera that you can handle most reliably without needing to double check results, wasting the least frames. Reconsider using any feature great at "perfectly nailing or perfectly ruining the picture" (spot metering, unless you are very secure in its usage, comes to mind).
Features (like fully-automatic, subject-specific modes, "chip card" systems) that were aimed at snapshooters and minimizing required skill at the cost of available control will not likely be interesting for you, and could actually create wasted frames if accidentally activated.
Looking into how viewfinder coverage plays into the film workflow you want will potentially help your composition - you might want 100% coverage in a film SLR if you are scanning film strips straight, 95%-ish if you are projecting framed slides, and whatever works best with the printing workflow you use if printing (or ordering prints) from negatives.
Precision (lens mount, focusing screen and film gate alignment, shutter and meter accuracy, autofocus accuracy if using autofocus) and reliability in the camera build certainly will help. Otherwise, the camera body does not matter that much for image quality (excepting some rare innovations like the vacuum-assisted pressure plate in some Contax RTS models) - it is usability and ultimately style you are looking for.
Mind that a camera designed for informed-manual operation (eg a Minolta SRT-303) will be optimized for that handling mode ... and with some practice, MUCH quicker to handle than eg the manual modes on an autofocus-oriented SLR.
