Plot: Simon Beaufoy, of The Full Monty, scripted this British romantic comedy-drama. Like The Full Monty, this is also set among the working class of Sheffield, England. With his pal Steve (James Thornton) and others, Ray (Pete Postlethwaite) paints electrical pylons across the Yorkshire countryside, and that work separates him from his wife. When young Australian hitchhiker Gerry (Rachel Griffiths) wants to join the paint crew, Ray signs her up. Despite the age gap, it's not long before they're a twosome. Gerry moves in with Ray, and at one point, they both run about nude in an abandoned nuclear power plant. When Gerry decides to seduce Steve, triangular tensions escalate. The BBC's Sam Miller made his feature directorial debut with this film, shown at the 1998 {~Cannes Film Festival}. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

Arrived in a timely manner and was in excellent condition. Video resolution was very clear and there were no video "blemishes" that required adjusting the tracking.

At US$103, this video is a waste of money. At 50cents it would be waste of money. No plot, no script and the worlds worst actor Pete Postlething.

Among Giants: A Giant's eye view of the human heart
Added 12/31/1999

Among Giants stirred my emotions like only a few other movies have done. Hidden deep, and I mean deep in the contrast of the yorkshire countryside and Ray's last chance at a meaninfgul relationship is the perfect view that only a Giant could see. By scaling the heights of the towers Ray unconsiuosly is living his view of life: robust with feeling, is a setting that few others can survive in. By adding the love intrest of Gerry he comes close to fulfilling his vision. But life is uncertain as well as unfair. Gerry's and Ray's emotional unfulfillemnt plays upon the heart like a violin. For a while Ray is at peace and like the real world life is "not always" bad. This should be the case at least once for all of us.
