94 - Sliding Doors
from Mixed Bag Hosted by Mixed Bag
You're waiting for a train, or rather you're running for one! Do you make it through the sliding doors? Or do you just miss it? The ultimate brain tickler in multiversal mysteries starring Ms. Goop herself, Gwyneth Paltrow! Released in the same year as her Oscar-winning turn in Shakespeare in Love, Sliding Doors (1998) sees Gwyn donning the British accent again as we follow two parallel stories of Helen. London publicist Helen, effortlessly slides between parallel storylines that show what happens when she does or does not catch a train back to her apartment. Love. Romantic entanglements. Deception. Trust. Friendship. Comedy. All come into focus as the two stories shift back and forth, overlap and surprisingly converge. (Sourced from Letterboxd). Will John Hannah be suitably charming? How many Monty Python references are too many? And are you ready for quite how dark this movie is willing to go? All this in more in the first of our personal picks on the theme of love/sex/affairs as we get closer to 100 episodes of Mixed Bag!
