Sleepless in Seattle – 1993 Ephron
- It’s not worthy of the out-of-character 4 star review from travers but it’s a very good film- largely in the archives based on the skill of the writing and the two leads- Hanks and Meg Ryan
- Certainly you can compare it to an affair to remember– a film sleepless parrots throughout and pays great homage to. It’s a slightly different genre breed (melodrama to romantic comedy) but I’d compare it to love story
- Oddly enough it’s shot by Sven Nykvist—not his best work though there’s nothing wrong with it
- Wonderful soundtrack- music from the American songbook—the holidays are a character as well- this film should be seen during Christmas
- Love the scene where the battle of the sexes exchange their thoughts on an affair to remember and the dirty dozen
- It’s not uber-creative but I do film some formal significance and a bit of a warm hug of security in the reoccurring use of the map during the film and the transition scenes
- Not in the top 10 of 1993 but in the archives
- Recommend
