Behind the Candelabra** (15)
Odeon Colchester
The concealed love affair between Liberace and his adopted "son" Scott Thorson from 1977 onwards.
Made for television because no film studio would touch the material (shamefully) in spite of the star cast, and quite intense in its central relationship which negates some of the supporting stars who are underused, this is still a consistently interesting and well made biopic, even if Douglas's campness slightly over-emphasises Liberace's homsexuality even more than Liberace would allow!
d: Steven Soderbergh
s: Michael Douglas, Matt Damon, Dan Aykroyd, Rob Lowe, Scott Bakula, Debbie Reynolds
