Travels With Dave: Gainsborough, On The Edge Of Reason Part Two

In 1975, home after my first year at Uni, my friend Dave and I set out on a tour round England and Wales to visit some of the old and new friends we had made, him driving and me at the map and tape machine. Last time we were near Beverley with the strange twins Maud and Mary Shilling. This time we’ve moved further west to the flatlands of Lincolnshire and the Allbright family, whose dysfunction…

Mothering Sunday bietet Lust und Verlust, schon wieder eine beherzt nichtlineare (und zudem unzuverlässige) Erzählstruktur, surreale kleine Aussetzer (im Bild), nach dreißig Jahren Filmpause noch einmal Glenda Jackson, gemessen am literaturverfilmungsüblichen Herumgedüdel schön eigenwillige Musik, zauberhafte Kostüme "auch wenn diese in wichtigen Szenen des Films überhaupt nicht zu sehen sind", schreibt ein unbedingt zu lobender Wikipedia-Beitragschreiber, Josh O'Connor ohne diese, durchaus erfreulich, Englishness, Standesdünkel, dienstbotenspezifische Kunst der Beobachtung und die üblichen Verdächtigen. Ärgerlich nur, daß die Verleger einen Thriller erwartet haben.

Norfolk Reads - Waterland

Finished listening to Waterland by Graham Swift read by Alex Jennings on Audible. This the first of my Norfolk reads, as I try and pass the time before The Running Grave arrives (109 days).

If you'd asked me what I would like from a Norfolk-based novel before I started I would have described this, a wondrous story of family secrets building over centuries, with every triumph and disaster tethered to the landscape - the water and the things that try to control the water, the flatness (but it isn't completely flat either and features are prominent here that would elsewhere be insignificant), the noises that carry, the eels that swim, the wind and the silt and crops that grow magnificently but are sometimes swept away in the floods.

Obviously as an admirer of Dickens and watery places I felt it was missing a convict. But that's my only complaint. 😁

Out Of This World (1988)

U-NEXTでエヴァ・ユッソン『帰らない日曜日』観た。

原作は読了済み、映画は概ね原作通りで満足。

原作は主人公のジェーンがマザリング・サンデーで考えたことを通じて作家になる必然性がページを読み進めるごとに確信していくのすごいなーと思っていて、映画はその感覚を大事にしつつジェーンの人生を上手く点と線で繋いでいてドラマに満足感がありとても良かった。

魅力あるジェーンを演じたオデッサ・ヤングが素晴らしいのはもちろん、彼女の秘密の恋人で名家の息子ポールを演じたジョシュ・オコナーが単純なハンサムさを封じ込めた名家の「ふつうの人」のリアルさやナイーブさを表現していて本当に凄かった…羊ちゃんとてもいい役者さんだなあ。
