Review by Milo Wakelin on 1st February 2007
Described by Al Pacino as the most poetic of actresses, Christie cemented her stardom not by chasing top parts, but by turning them down.
The films she made with John Schlesinger, Billy Liar (1963), Darling (1965) and Far From the Madding Crowd (1967) brought a much needed spark to British New Wave cinema, and Christie similarly came to embody the energy and defiance of the decade.
Lighting up the streets of Bradford in Billy Liar, this “limpid icon of rebellious glamour” (in the words of A. O. Scott) was too luminous for the confines of British kitchen sink cinema, and far too self-assured to fizzle away as just another swinging 60s clotheshorse.
In recent years, Christie has returned to the screen in roles both large and small - as Gertrude in Kenneth Branagh’s Hamlet (1996), as a steely-eyed matriarch in Finding Neverland (2004), and as Brad Pitt’s mother(!) in Troy (2004).
After her Oscar-nominated performance in Afterglow (1997), Christie will return to the screen in Away From Her (2006), a film delayed to make her performance eligible for the 2008 Academy Awards.
