Watching A Star Is Born (2018) @ The Cabinet Rooms, Winchester
susanbystryenglish.substack.com
Happily to the secret cinema room of the delightful Cabinet Rooms in Winchester for another Secret Underground Film Society showing— this time to watch A Star Is Born with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. And how good they are… Such a good movie, though as with Ken in Barbie, I think Bradley Cooper steals the movie away from Lady Gaga, in sheer sympathy and charisma. Plus he’s also directing and co-producing! A remake of a remake of a remake of a classic weepie movie and women’s pic. It’s 1950’s Judy Garland and James Mason that spring to mind, with one career rising in the plot and another’s fame falling; but there was also a Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristofferson version, a 1937 Janet Gaynor and Fredric March version, as well as a 1932 version which wasn’t even shown under the same name!
