Clip for Part 1 of Tess of the D'urbervilles

[MsPianocello]

i love this version ...hans matheson (perfect alec ).a very good actor........

[EloiseDecember]

I like the way she is rehearsing it all as she approaches the house. If this is anything to go by it looks like a very good remake. I was unimpressed by the Polanski version.

[Caprizonica]

@EloiseDecember Me too, perhaps this is my favorite scene and also really liked how she was preparing for her speech and how embarrassed she was when talking to Alec.I saw half of Polanski and it was meh.....

[OuttaEgypt]

0:08 Oh.My. Living. God.

[transfoby]

He looks like that yankee actor D. Defoe, but a sleazy english version

[Woodlander65]

Now, how about some tea.

[Woodlander65]

The 98 version was the best and closest to the book, this one also is excellent even if Gemma wasnt as good as Tess as Justine was, but still very fair.

The Polanski version was all wrong, its an English story with English, Wessex backgrounds and English charactors and the foreign element in that movie didnt capture the spirit for me in the story.

[seppderoover1]

Shes so Pretty

[EvaSalvi]

She's got the sweetest, most beautiful face ever.

[BernardProfitendieu]

the 1998 version was the best, Polanski's version was beautiful, but a couple of casting errors in the men

-- the most recent version was just plain unnecessary, unneeded, unwanted, unloved and underwhelming

[ribogok]

There's no need whatsoever to refilm this story after the Polanski/Kinski version.

[insertBoringName]

alec may well be hot, but in this film its kinda hard to like him

him being a rapeist and all that:P

she is so very very pretty

[springswing]

Well,Alec is terrible as a character, but in real life people have both black and white sides.Imagine, if she liked him, the story would be different.Comparing the characters of Angel and Alec... I have to say that in this adaptation Alec wins. He knows what he wants while Angel runs away and hurts her feelings,he doesn't behave like a man should

[lemonjellywibblewobb]

did you find out what music it is? i cannot seem to find out anywhere!

[mozzarella]

hey where can i get the full movie? hans matheson is so hot!!

[Lolisbh]

[millyleeloo]

[citizenpoet]

Hmm. This is on television right now. What a coincidence.

[Laroling]

Ooh my. This Alec version looks like Christian Bales and Willem Dafoe's lovechild!

-runs away-

lol. I still need to watch this version. I'm curious.

[twin2su]

when does this video come out in Australia? or when does it come out on television on ABC?

[yearningarrow]

she's okay, but why does she have that strange american accent??

[yearningarrow]

sorry bout that, i just realized it's like a pseudo-irish accent

[Edwiness]

It's a West Country accent you dumbarse.

[cheltgal]

[xmissriddlex]

[faeryb0x]

Does anyone know what the name of the soundtrack at the start is with the violin?

[DivaStar86]

Does anyone know when the DVD is available to buy in shops in the UK? On the internet it says 27th of Oct but I have not seen it in the shops. Is it just available to buy on the internet at the moment?

[thebigloc1]

How do I know it is safe? Seems too good to be true to me...

[CoolDudeMyBitches]

I am not sure how safe the site is but if it's viruses that you are worried about I have not been affected by any so far. If you want to enter the site just do what I do make sure that you update your internet security before entering and then do a full scan after. Hope this helps.

[mysayinthematter]

Ok, thanks, I have good virus protection I think so hopefully I will be fine. It is an awesome site if there is no catch to it!

[MattMuse4EvaIsFit]

[xmissriddlex]

[Muirmaiden]

Gemma Arterton and Hans Matheson were electrifying in this - the best Tess/Alec dynamic I've seen!

[Drabsoma]

I dont know much about the hans dude but alec is a right prick in the programme!!!

[xmissriddlex]

ALEC IS HOT.

[blink182011]
