Any Human Heart

The Review Show tonight reviewed Any Human Heart and Jane was kind enough to transcribe some of the glowing comments:

Sarah Churchwell, Writer and Academic:

This is his (MM's) episode as far as I'm concerned. He brings so much intelligence to the part, so much modulation and nuance, that I just kept wanting to watch more of him, altho' I tend to watch Matthew Macfadyen when he's on the screen anyway!

David Hayman, Actor and Director:

Matthew Macfadyen comes on the screen, and I agree with you, Sarah, he just lifts the whole thing, because the internal dynamics of that part, and not necessarily a sympathetic character, suddenly began to begin

Sarah Crompton, Arts Editor, Daily Telegraph:

I certainly thought that it picked up when Matthew Macfadyen appeared... he brings a wonderful intelligence to it

The London Evening Standard has an interview with Matthew Macfadyen in preparation for this Sunday's airing of "Any Human Heart". Here's a small excerpt:

I meet this handsome bear of a man at his publicist's office in Soho. He looks almost unrecognisable from Any Human Heart, with a beard and henna rinse. (He's currently shooting Three Musketeers with Christoph Waltz, Orlando Bloom and Milla Jovovich. “I was getting fish and chips the other day, and this woman said, What have you done to your hair? You used to be quite good-looking in Spooks',” he mock-groans. He has a reputation for being “notoriously difficult” in interviews but I find him funny and modest, with a nicely subversive streak. He jokes that it's his pudding face and cow eyes that make him appear naturally sympathetic on screen.

The Press and Journal has a lovely interview with all three Logans from Any Human Heart. Thanks to Luce for finding it!
