Unconditional Love with Kathy Bates and Rupert Everett
I came across this movie last week, and what a find! I guess it was never released in theaters for some reason - it went straight to cable and dvd. It's about unlikely friendships, unexpected encounters and unconditional love.
After her husband (Dan Aykroyd) leaves her, a woman (Kathy Bates) travels to London for the funeral of the pop star, Victor Fox (Jonathon Pryce), she's adored all her life. There, she meets the lover (Rupert Everett) of the dead pop star, and convinces him to come back to Chicago with her to figure out who killed the singer.
Unconditional Love is the best representation of "quirky, dark comedy" I've seen. From the opening number of Jonathan Pryce singing "Hitchcock Railway" (I have no idea about the title) through the closing number of "(You Know I) Can't Smile Without You," (with a cameo by Barry Manilow!) the film will keep you off balance with its irreverent tale of love, loss, and discovery.
A great find!
