Fun fact, CHARIOTS OF FIRE won the TIFF People's Choice Award back in 1981 then went on to win Best Picture at the Oscars.
ELSINORE is the story of CHARIOTS OF FIRE actor Ian Charleson as he battles AIDS while performing Hamlet on stage at the end of his life. #TIFF26

I didn’t think Andrew Scott could top his performance in All of Us Strangers but with Elsinore he does. What a gorgeous story about creativity in the face of adversity as well as the sheer joy of performance. He should finally be an Oscar nominee this time.

#Elsinore is a love letter to actors with an Andrew Scott performance for the ages. It's the role of his career. Olivia Colman has entered her Maggie Smith era and I love it. Stealth and powerful work from Billie Piper. The score rips. The heart is full. #Telluride

Andrew Scott gives a powerhouse performance in Elsinore, a beautiful tribute to Ian Charleson, the joy of acting, and the need to make the most of the time we have. Emotions abound.

TweeView: ELSINORE -World premiere tour de force performance of melancholia writ large. Andrew Scott’s riveting portrayal roots the belief that a lived life well spent, however short, is beautiful to behold. #TFF53
