    It's a pretty startling topic, but if you open your mind it's really about rejection judgement youth aging trust empathy anger self-realization caring protection and in the end a deeper love. A love with many layers. I've seen it 5 times and each time I peel off another layer revealing a beautiful movie. You really have to realize what these two roles are and just how perfectly they are played.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A film that touches your heart
    Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Venus shows how the ego and imagination survive the humiliations of deteriorating physical appearance and powers. Peter O'Toole's performance as an aging former matinee idol, womanizer, and bon vivant is nothing short of astonishing. This part took courage, a trait that distinguishes O'Toole's acting from the get-go. He shows us the breakdown of a formerly arrestingly handsome and charming leading man: Alan Swann's final hour. That O'Toole--who may be the greatest screen actor ever--never won a competitive leading role Oscar despite eight nominations is baffling. The rest of the cast, including Vanessa Redgrave, Leslie Phillips, and Richard Griffiths, playing some of those who loved and still love him, is also fine. Jodie Whittaker, as the young working class Venus of the title, is in strong company, but she holds her own. It's a painful and very beautiful film.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Peter O'Toole manages another stellar performance
    Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2007
    Verified Purchase
    I admit that I'm a huge fan of Peter O'Toole. The man can be totally irreverent, cheeky but...I admire his willingness to take chances and push the envelope.
    Having recently watched his performance in Lassie (also recommended), I was reminded of his versatility when I saw Venus. Instead of a dog lover, this time O'Toole plays the role of an elderly man, still searching for love and beauty. He doesn't even try to cover up his genuinely wrinkly face and allows age to work to his advantage, not always easy to pull off in a film performance.
    He plays Maurice, a genuine character, who is drawn to a friend's niece and somehow manages to turn this attraction into a drama mixing humor, pathos and downright awkwardness - and yet it somehow all works.
    For O'Toole fans, I'd also recommend: Lassie

    4.0 out of 5 stars Elder self-abuse
    Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Peter O'Toole is an old actor who hangs out with his old-actor friends, making what they can of their days while awaiting the inevitable when his best friend's teenage grandniece (a convincing Leslie Phillips) comes to stay. His age seems to preclude a full dirty-old-man moment, but O'Toole's character is taken with her in a not-entirely-pure way. She, in turn, is cold and distant, disrespectful, ignorant, self-centered and mean. Otherwise things are fine, and O'Toole lavishes attention on her. We are on our way to a poignant ending, but we must first endure his almost repellant physical affection for her and her truly nasty and manipulative responses. O'Toole and his buddies are a joy to watch. The story is quite original and interest never flags. So, if you can overcome the slight queasy factor, this is a good flick.

    5.0 out of 5 stars When a man loves (many) women.....
    Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    Before purchasing this film, I was not familiar with a lot of Peter O'Toole's work. Of course I acknowledged his position as one of the greats, absolutely one of the greatest actors, of all time. I have since then seen many of his classic films. This movie slapped me upside the head and I was spellbound from the beginning. While I consider it touching, endearing, at times hilarious and thought-provoking, there are some that may consider the subject matter to be a little on the "ick" scale. (Without giving away anything, it involves an aging man in the throes of a mad crush on a much younger girl.) O'Toole is still so handsome, and the chemistry between he and his Venus is remarkable. If you are looking for a realistic look at aging in the life of what was once a vibrant, energetic skirt-chasing Romeo, get this film. It's incredible.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I have not necessarily been a Peter O'Toole fan in the past but this movie was so moving for me. He is an older man who was a prominent thespian in the past. He is dealing with his inner feeling of attraction to this younger woman but still realizing and respecting that he is an aged man. As a middle aged person I can relate to his feelings of what is inside as compared to what my outer appearance projects. He still can sense the beauty of a younger person but cannot compare to what he has become through his life process, nor can she relate to him but can still sense the person who he is inside. This movie has moved me and in my opinion I can highly recommend it.

    This is a GREAT movie. I LOVE Peter O'Toole in just about anything, usually; this film is very real for elders, and it is hilarious in places, too real in others, yet great acting, AND Vanessa Redgrave being in it frosts the cake. I watched O'Toole speak of making this movie when a Charlie Rose interview which pointed me to it. One to watch again and again, especially for elders.

For a man who is obviously frail now..he still has a wonderful sense of himself, a sexinesss, great beauty and humor...i don't care how old he is, he has class!!!

    アスペクト比：ワイドスクリーン1.85：1

    国内盤とどちらを購入しようか迷いましたが、リージョン1版がマーケットプレイスで非常に安価になっていたので、こちらを選びました。本編や特典映像にはすべて英語字幕がついています。（注：日本語字幕は収録なし）

    ＜あらすじ＞
    かつての名優モーリス（ピーター・オトゥール）は、今では俳優仲間のイアン（レスリー・フィリップス）らと会う以外は、ロンドンの一角で静かに暮らしている。前立腺を患い、落ち込むモーリスだが、イアンのもとにイアンの姪ジェシー（ジョディ・ウィタカー）が来ることを知り、興味を持ち始める…

    2006年のピーター・オトゥール主演作です。主人公のモーリスは俳優で、どこかピーター・オトゥールと重なってみえます。ピーター・オトゥールというと、どちらかというとエキセントリックな役柄が多いですが、この作品では老俳優の最晩年を比較的抑えた調子で、しかしオーラたっぷりに演じていて、圧倒されます。

    正直、見る前は（ピーターがよぼよぼで、セリフも聞き取りにくい状態だったらどうしよう…）などと、失礼な心配をしていたのですが…
    目を閉じてセリフを聞いていると、全く年齢を感じさせないすばらしい口跡です。映画でも発声トレーニングを披露していますが、さすが舞台出身だなあ…と聞き惚れてしまいました。

    脚本のハニフ・クレイシは、脚本執筆にあたって、谷崎潤一郎の「瘋癲老人日記」を頭に置いていたようです。谷崎の粘りつくようなエロスとはやや異なりますが、老俳優が若い娘から生命力を得ていく様が興味深く描かれています。

    その、若い娘・ジェシー役のジョディ・ウィタカーは、丸出しの（おそらく）ヨークシャなまりに奇妙な力強さがあって、いい役者さんだと思いました。

    監督とプロデューサーによるコメンタリーでは、製作時の秘話やトリビアをたくさん聞くことができます。ピーターが野外劇場でたたずむ場面での音声は、どうやって録ったのだろうか？と気になっていたので、説明を聞いて本当に感心しました。終盤近くの車窓の風景も、説明を聞いて改めて見るととても心を動かされました。

    レスリー・フィリップス、ヴァネッサ・レッドグレイブや、「ハリー・ポッター」の「ヴァーノンおじさん」役で知られるリチャード・グリフィスも達者な演技を見せています。

    コリーヌ・ベイリー・レイのヒット曲が全編にちりばめられています。

    超おすすめです。

    After getting an operation for prostate cancer, an elderly womaniser, played very well by Peter O'Toole, falls in love with his best friends's grandniece and because of his operation he can't have sex any more, but finds ways to get pleasure from her nonetheless. Amusing love story, but can't tell any more as I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen this movie. I bought it because I'm a sucker for a good love story and Peter O'Toole is one of my favourite actors. Great cast and well worth watching.

    J'ai reçu ce DVD hier et je l'ai regardé en VO en m'aidant des sous-titres anglais pour mieux comprendre les dialogues qui sont savoureux. C'est un peu l'histoire de Peter O'Toole, qui interprète ici un acteur très âgé, et la fin préfigure l'inéluctable disparition de ce très grand acteur. Le thème du film démontre qu'il n'y a pas d'âge pour tomber amoureux. C'est aussi le choc des générations et la façon de remplacer ce choc par une mutuelle compréhension. Il y a beaucoup d'humour et de tendresse dans les dialogues. Peter O'Toole crève l'écran, comme toujours. C'est vraiment un seigneur du septième art. Il est époustouflant de sensualité malgré son âge. Les protagonistes sont excellents. Le titre me laissait craindre un navet sentimental. Ce n'est aucunement le cas. Un vrai petit bijou de sincère émotion.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Superbly Acted May December Relationship Drama
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 12, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Apparently the role of Maurice was written with Peter O'Toole in mind, and I will say he is phenomenal in it. The part requires great sensitivity from the actor to keep the audience caring for the character. Equally stellar is Jodi Whittaker's performance as the girl Jessie in what is her first appearance on the big screen. The story of the uneasy relationship between the once famous elderly actor and the brash young woman may not be to everybody's taste, but it's worth persevering and watching Whitfaker's character learn and grow.

    I suspect the life of the group of ageing actors played by O'Toole, Richard Griffiths and Leslie Phillips is very near the truth for many elderly actors. They are reduced to taking small parts in low budget productions to make ends meet and the younger generation has no idea who they are, what they have achieved during their career and how much knowledge of life they have.

    A particularly memorable scene in the film is the one between Maurice and his estranged wife and the mother of his children played by the amazing Vanessa Redgrave. This one short moment made me wish these two actors had got the chance to work together while in their prime.

    I am somewhat puzzled by the classification of the film as a comedy. While there is some subtle humour, I didn't find anything particularly funny about it. Don't expect a lot of laughs from this one. However, if you can appreciate a slow but extremely well acted drama (which brought Mr O'Toole his 8th Best Actor Oscar nomination), played out in the real world, this is absolutely worth seeing.

    The DVD has subtitles for the hard of hearing and includes the following extra features:
    - Feature Commentary with Director Roger Michell and Producer Kevin Loader
    - Deleted Scenes
    - Venus: A Real Work of Art
