Tamara Drewe
“’Tamara Drewe’ makes a strong case for rhinoplasty, and a stronger one for the pleasures of comedy. This bucolic frolic was directed with unflagging élan by Stephen Frears from a script with a layered lineage: Moira Buffini adapted a graphic novel by Posy Simmonds which was, in its turn, a contemporary riff on Thomas Hardy's ‘Far From the Madding Crowd.’”
Tamara Drewe
Stephen Frears’s satire on the new bourgeois-bohemian British countryside is based on Thomas Hardy’s Far from the Madding Crowd by way of a graphic novel by Posy Simmonds. Gemma Arterton is the coy country girl who returns from London with a new nose and success as a columnist. With Roger Allam, Bill Camp, Dominic Cooper, Luke Evans and Tamsin Greig.
