The Gathering Storm (2002) (TV)

The film dramatizes Churchill's life in the 30's, before World War II. He tries to regain power by alerting England against Germany's increasingly bellic attitude.

A historical telefilm, which means it stood little chance of interesting me beyond a certain extent. But it is a watchable film, very good-looking and with a competent cast. Politicians are the opposite of heroes in my scale of values, but a tasteful and careful production like this one turns their relative insignificance into something amusing.

Rating: 55
