DVD Reviews of The Anthony Trollope Collection (The Barchester Chronicles / He Knew He Was Right / The Way We Live Now)
DVD Review: Splendid, a Rare Treat!
Summary: 5 Stars
Anthony Trollope has become one of my favorite authors in British Literature. I recently discovered his masterpiece The Way We Live Now in a used bookstore and once I had read the novel I could not believe that I had never heard of him before. I do not think he gets enough recognition for his work. His books are all masterpieces, his use of humor, wit, sarcasm and satire is present in all of the books I have read by him. I also love him for his creations of strong female characters. He is one of the only male writers I have read that makes women honest and portrays them truthfully. I love BBC Drama's period productions and I was excited when I found this boxed set on Amazon, even though I have not read He Knew He Was Right and The Barrister Chronicles, I have seen previews of this films and I knew I had to own this.
The Way We Live Now is an epic masterpiece of writing and I was really interested to see how it was close it would be to the book. I think it does an excellent job of measuring up. Matthew Macfayden is excellent as Sir Felix Carbury, even though I would have preferred him to be a hero, he really is a versatility as an actor and he plays his part so accurately. I also enjoyed the performances of Paloma Baeza as Hetta and Cillian Murphy as Mr. Paul Montague. Douglas Hodge was as an excellent choice for the loyal, kind and truly wonderful Roger Carbury. Even though the film strayed a bit from the book especially where the relationship of Mr. Montague and Mrs. Hurtle are concerned, I thought that it was still excellent and kept well with the spirit of the book. I think the audience can pick up the excellent satire of the production well from the performance David Suchet's as Mr. Melmotte.
He Knew He Was Right was probably my favorite of all three of the films. I thought this was excellent and might just be one of my favorite British period productions of all time. I have not read the book yet so I can not comment about how close it was to the book, but besides that the film itself is wonderful. The acting is fantastic, I love Oliver Dimsdale as Louis Trevelyan, I thought he did an excellent job connecting with the audience and we can not help but feel sorry for the way he chooses to destroy his life even though we might want to hate him for the way he accuses his wife. Laura Fraser played an excellent part of Mrs. Trevelyan, she captured the fierce independence and head-strong attitude of the character. All of the other actors are phenomenal. The story itself is excellent and original and filled with loads of rare human emotions and many memorable moments. I was hooked from start to finish and it will be one that I will watch over and over. I also enjoyed the way it was filmed where every major character sort of as a moments of monologues with the audience. I know it sounds really stupid but it is pulled off so well it enhances the story and creates a real connection between us and the characters.
The Barrister Cronicles is also another excellent production. I have not read this novel as well yet so I can not say how close it is to the book. Alan Rickman does an excellent job as Mr. Slope as are all of the other main characters in the series. It is really a delightful look at the time and I really enjoyed the story line. It is filled with humor and insight into the time period and is another great treasure that is part of this collection.
