EMPIRE OF LIGHT on HBO: If you see Sam Mendes name on a movie it
promises to be both interesting and visually delightful. This modest story,
"a drama about the power of human connection during turbulent times,
set in an English coastal town in the early 1980s" is moving, sad and
uplifting. It deals with loneliness, isolation, mental illness,
discrimination, inter-racial relations, prejudice and abuse. A little
bit slow but worth the time. Great performances from the two leads,
FOUR AND ONE-HALF STARS.
