Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Lord Glenconner, a Scot, once owned Mustique, a verdant island in the Caribbean. He lives in St. Lucia with wife Lady Anne Coke (herself an Earl's daughter and lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret) and their sole surviving son, Christopher, disabled by an accident. Glenconner visits Mustique, explores old haunts, and prepares an outdoor lunch for the Princess. He gets on with his wife; he's charming, irritable, waspish, a snob. With Margaret, he's unctuous and outrageously ribald. It's up close and personal with this aging, white-robed, old-moneyed European amongst Black workers and nouveau riche Americans. A portrait emerges of the rich against the backdrop of third-world paradise.
Leave your thoughts about The Man Who Bought Mustique.
| Boston GlobeSteve GreenleeMust-see viewing if you're not quite sure the sun really set over the British Empire. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxThe film, like its subject, is a hoot, both shamelessly entertaining and bursting with personality. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenA compulsively watchable but repugnant portrait of a selfish eccentric born to privilege. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyA memorable portrait of an unbearable personality. |
| Village VoiceDennis LimTennant had hoped the documentary would serve as an "instrument of revenge" on Mustique's new owners. It's the filmmakers who end up exacting revenge on Tennant, gleefully recording his every splenetic outburst and infantile hissy fit. |
| Film Journal InternationalEd KelleherAs luck would have it, filmmakers Joseph Bullman and Vikram Jayanti were given pretty much free rein. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Peter RainerGlenconner is such a class-conscious caricature that he doesn't need the filmmakers to do him in; he does a sterling job all by himself. |
| User ReviewLisa WGreat concept for a documentary. But all 3 Whelpleys agree, the film makers missed the mark. Good material, but they blew it. |
