The Business of Film: A Haunting in Venice, The Equalizer 3, The Sound of Freedom & El Conde
James Cameron-Wilson takes Simon Rose through the latest box office chart where Agatha Christie adaptation A Haunting in Venice is #1. However, James found it dreary, dragging the Whodunnit back to the Middle Ages. He much preferred The Equalizer 3 at #3 with Denzel Washington; although violent it's a thriller with character and atmosphere. He found The Sound of Freedom, about modern-day child slavery, well-made but an essential watch for the subject matter, which has obsessed him since, as has the fact that the film was blocked for five years. He found El Conde on Netflix, imagining General Pinochet as an aged vampire, a jaw-dropping curiosity.
