Jan 30th
We'll Take Manhattan*
GB TVM 2011. BBC/Kudos/Shine Group. 87m.

At the beginning of the 1960's, David Bailey meets Jean Shrimpton and together their Vogue Magazine New York shoot breaks the mould of fashion photography.
The New York of today looks a little brighter than the original New York of 1962, but this is otherwise a careful and pleasant reconstruction of the photos themselves; dramatically speaking a slightly one-note affair of Bailey's arrogance and coarseness confronting the fashion establishment, with the occasional nice photo of Karen Gillan emulating Jean Shrimpton.

Written and Directed by: John McKay.
Producer: Rebecca Hodgson.
Starring: Aneurin Barnard, Karen Gillan, Helen McCrory, Joseph May, Robert Glenister, Anna Chancellor, Allan Corduner, Franecs Barber.
Photography: Tim Palmer.
Music: Kevin Sargent.
Editing: David Charap.


WE'LL TAKE MANHATTAN. David Bailey's original iconic photo shoot made more use of Jean Shrimpton's best features than of Manhattan's: Karen Gillan reciprocates.
