## Description

Product Description          Julie Christie turns in an astonishing, OscarÂ(r)-winning* performance in this "sensitive and stunning tale" (Cue) about wanting it alland getting exactly what you wish for. Directed by John Schlesinger from an OscarÂ(r)-winning* screenplay by Frederic Raphael, Darling is "a slashing social satire loaded with startling expositions and lacerating wit" (The New York Times). Ambitious model Diana Scott (Christie) uses her relationships to turn a low-rent career into a high-gear smorgasbord of jet-setting, love-making and the pursuit of hedonistic happiness. But as she moves from one fiery tryst with a TV writer (Dirk Bogarde) to another with a suave playboy (Laurence Harvey) and yet another with a crown prince, she finds that happiness is the one thing that may elude her forever. *1965: Actress (Christie), Original Screenplay, Costume Design             .com          Julie Christie's miracle year of 1965 (she was also in Doctor Zhivago) was capped by a best-actress Oscar® for this sardonic take on Swinging London. Looking about as gorgeous as women get, Christie ascends the ladder of social success, trampling everybody in her path--an ascent that allows writer Frederic Raphael and director John Schlesinger to slash away at the morally bankrupt world that would enable such a person to triumph. Cynics might suggest that Schlesinger's approach, rife with the experiments of New Wave filmmaking, is nearly as empty and showy as the world it describes... which may be why this movie seems more dated than, say, Richard Lester's films from the '60s. Still, with Christie getting generous and suave support from two of the top British stars of the day, Dirk Bogarde and Laurence Harvey, Darling remains a watchable missive from a volatile era. --Robert Horton

    A time capsule of the mid-Sixties and still a great film today.
  

*by J***F on Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2016*

After his major success with A Kind of Loving and Billy Liar British New Wave director John Schlesinger triumphed again with Darling, one of the most trend setting films of the mid-sixties. It starred Julie Christie, whose role in the second half of Billy Liar almost stole the film and certainly made her someone to watch. With a very strong supporting cast she is completely believable as Diana, a popular model who is seduced by dreams of glamour and will do whatever it takes to make it to the good life. Though the character is self-centered and seemingly amoral, such is Julie Christie's charisma that one can't help feeling for her and hoping she'll find her way out of her unfulfilling life.The film is many things. it's a revelation of a new kind of media celebrity lifestyle taking place in the sixties as well as a satirical take on the Sixties itself with it's live for today attitudes and hedonistic pleasure seeking. It's a picture of a world where the main power women had was to be beautiful and the way to anything involved attracting powerful men. It's a snapshot of the Swinging Sixties though not exactly of Swinging London as some seem to think. Swinging London was not something that you could visit as one could the Haight Ashbury a couple years later. It was more of a set of people who formed a new hip elite and who went to certain clubs and parties. Though Diana's role as a top model would certainly have gotten her admittance to these circles, in London she has become attached to Robert Gold (Dirk Bogarde), a television journalist whose circle is that of news professionals and celebrated authors. With Miles Brand (Lawrence Harvey) she travels to Paris where the crowd seems to be one of the decadent rich. With Prince Cesare della Romita she finally attains social status but loses everything else as an aristocrat's trophy wife.Everything is spot on in this film and Schlesinger's scene setting is as imaginative as ever. Most memorable to me is the interlude of the trip to Capri she makes with her gay photographer friend Malcolm, where the atmosphere becomes truly lyrical and it seems that perhaps she will see things more clearly and try to set a new course. Even in black and white Capri looks truly radiant. She does not, of course, and seals her future. One still can't help but feel for her, as her fame after being picked out for a man in the street interview is suddenly thrust upon her and soon sweeps her away; hers is not a coldly calculated course like Lawrence Harvey's Joe Lampton in Room At the Top. At the very end perhaps she can't find love but is left with a life of many possibilities due to her wealth and social status from charity work to social entertaining or travel and of course, taking an active role in raising the children. I know most see her trapped in an empty life in the end (many people feeling rightfully), but I'd like to feel there is some hope there. I think, however, it's just that I like Julie Christie.

    DARLING RULES!!
  

*by H***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2023*

JULIE CHRISTIE is on quite a roll in Swinging London, Paris & Rome in 1965, making her way up the ladder of "Success" while partying & toying with the affections two older men - DIRK BOGARDE & LAURENCE HARVEY who play epic love interests, one easy going the other quite wild. If you like B&W European films that are well-made & edgy with a VERY sexy leading lady get this dvd - I LOVED it bc it just keeps going, moving from place to place as DIANA (Julie) plows her way through & becomes a popular model and actress & finally an Italian princess. GREAT movie!!

    Very sixties!!
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2022*

This is worth watching just for the feel of 1960s Britain/Europe.  To me, the story was a bit mundane -- those actually, some scenes were extremely racy for the time.  I love Dirk Bogarde -- he has the most expressive eyes.  Julie Christie was fascinating to watch, though I am not sure that she deserved the Oscar for Best Actress for this role (the role was more about the writing than the acting I think).  Anyway, if you are curious about or are of fan of British 60s culture/film, I highly recommend it!
