| I was bowled over by how much I enjoyed this film, about the Sutton Hoo dig in 1939, on Netflix. I expected something dry and precious, but found it to be a warm, layered and beautifully photographed film stuffed with excellent performances and images. Ralph Fiennes as Basil Brown, the local excavator called in to start the dig, is particularly good, thoroughly embodying the taciturn nature and quiet humour and compassion of his character. It might not be historically accurate, I have no idea, but it was a delightful surprise. |
