Avis sur le produitThe Turn of the Screw (DVD, 2004)

The Turn of the Screw

Unfortunately, our hero (Colin Firth) is only in this film, briefly, in the beginning of it, handsome as ever, gorgeous, in period costume, & sporting mutton chop sideburns, & exuding charm & sex appeal, of course. And, we get to see an excellent oil portrait of his character, through the bannister of the staircase...a much better rendition than the one of Fitzwilliam Darcy, in "Pride and Prejudice." I wonder...what becomes of these props, when the filming is over??

Jodhi May is very good, in the role of the governess. She seems to be a real pro, at making her expression mimic that of a deer caught in the headlights. (You can see it again, in "Last of the Mohicans," prior to her leap off a cliff to escape from her Huron captor).

I love the large English manor homes, & the English countryside, carriages, & horses, as well as the beautiful English gardens, & ponds. Also, the costumes, & tea sets.

I also love a good ghost story, but this one was inconclusive, & inexplicable. The ending was very unsettling.

Intriguing and thought provoking.

I had liked the book and was curious about this Masterpiece Theatre version of it. I did like better the film version of it called The Innocents, but any adaptation of The Turn of the Screw is always a good “ghost story”.Lire l'avis complet...
