 Rating:  - A Month in the CountryThis is the story of a young World War I veteran who spends a summer restoring a medieval fresco in an English church. Healing of his wounds, both physical and spiritual, occurs as he focuses on the mystery of the fresco's painter and his new friendship with another young vet who is performing some archeological work for the church elders and dealing with problems of his own.

The luminosity and color saturation make this an art house film. The bonuses you get for free: 1. a wonderful, restorative story 2. a mystery to be solved 3. watching two now-famous actors at the beginning of their respective careers Rating: - "And he shall come with woundes red . . . ."The script embraces two strands of interrelated action and succeeds in implying a great deal more than is expressed, thus the tension. Three excerpted messages are heard, and the contrast between them is noteworthy and enjoyable. Best of all, the screenplay gives the viewer some credit. I want a copy on DVD when it becomes available. |
