Watched Toby Stephens in "Sunset Heights".

The film is very strange and very grim. It takes place in Nothern Ireland after English occupation is over. Two rival gangs reign in the city – “Bollermen” and “Westies”. Toby wears white polo neck and Irish accent. He is a grieving father of the murdered boy. He displays the best acting in the film; the other characters don't have much depth.
From COLM VILLA, DIRECTOR : "Sunset Heights is a mythical allegory about revenge, guilt and redemption"

The film is too dismal and badly acted (apart from Toby, of course) for my liking; though there is a bonus in the form of Toby’s cheekbones and eyelashes. His eye colour seems to be grey in this film….

Toby is looking quite young :



He has great eyelashes:



This looks like some “Quentin Tarantino” shot:

Toby looks great in the movie. I bought it for him and for that is worth it, just for that. What do you say of the end?

Eeee! Thos eyelashes! [swoons] I recently watched him in Cambridge Spies (which is excellent, btw) and those eyelashes make notable appearances in many well-lit and perfectly photographed silhouette shots.

Isn't he just BEAUTIFUL in "Cambridge Spies"? (Tho' I was a little disappointed that there wasn't a Kim Philby-Woman-o'-the-Week for the last two episodes after they got my hopes up in the first two ;))

Alexandra, thanks so much for posting these - wasn't "Sunset Heights" an ODD movie? I have to say I spent most of it worried about whether the Golden Retriever would survive more than anything else ;)

Hee!! It was very-very odd, probably the oddest movie i have seen, even overtaking "One more kiss" which I have watched for Gerard Butler's sake by a mile ;)
