Jodie Whittaker discusses the significance of the Rokeby Venus to the film at the National Gallery
Just remembered about this film the other day. It's really an extraordinary movie and worth renting. Check out other YouTube interviews and trailers to get a sense of this great film. Sorry O'Toole didn't get Oscar for this performance. What more does he have to Do, for pete's sake? !

May Peter win an Oscar for his exemplary work in "Venus"! He is a a golden talent, a silver-tongued treasure of a man. I loved the whole cast, but Peter O'Toole is sheer poetry. Time for him to win an Oscar based on his richly deserving WORK, not on lifetime achievement. "Venus" is a captivating, touching, edgy but warm film, though at times its cinematography plays harshly with O'Toole's frailty. His LION self is a bit diminished by it. But a great film.
