Cold Comfort Farm (1995) - PART 4

In England in the early 1930's, 20 year old Flora Poste, recently orphaned and left with only 100 pounds a year, goes to stay with distant relatives on Cold Comfort Farm. Everyone on the gloomy farm is completely around the twist, but Flora tries to sort everything out...

This is yet another great adaptation of a great book - and it's so delightfully funny and cleverly-written. Kate is so lovely in her role as Flora. Her appearance as a penniless heroine reminded me of Emma Woodhouse and Northanger Abbey. Don't miss the hilarity-driven performances by respected actors like Ian McKellen, Eileen Atkins, Rufus Sewell, Stephen Fry, and Rupert Penry-Jones!

D H Lawrence has an awful lot to answer for, in my opinion. Thomas Hardy as much or more.

Gotta love Stella Gibbons, not only the ultimate taking of the proverbial in terms of the rustic and romantic novels written at the time but also satirising the 'olde worldey' notions that we all to often get nostalgic about whilst taking a poke at the who kind of non denominational ridiculousness that Amos is part of but was actually quite a bit deal at the time amongst certain sectors of society, whilst also getting at the self proclaimed intelligensia and bright young things. No one escapes

It must be a sin to be as good looking as Rufus Sewell. But what a glorious sin.

[Mikelajoy]

this is one of the oddest movies I think I've seen...it's like a cross between Emma and a Scooby Doo cartoon.

[Birdshavewings]
