The Angelic Conversation (1987)

I think everyone can agree that Judi Dench is one of about five actors who can make reading the dictionary exciting. So, it's amazing to hear her read some of Shakespeare's sonnets in Derek Jarman's film "The Angelic Conversation." Sadly, that's the sole highlight in a movie definitely lacking in coherency about the struggle of two men(Paul Reynolds and Phillip Williamson) trying to find each other in a cruel and harsh world, guarded over by radar towers. The symbolism is interesting but it just goes to prove that you need more than love to keep a movie going.
