Death and Nightingales [BBC] [Region 2]

My viewing loved it

There is nothing not to like in 'Death and Nightingales'; a super story well-told; Percy French is in the story in the book but is only mentioned in the television adaptation, but other than that, I think the adaptation excelled the book. All the acting is great, but Matthew Rhys is super playing an Irish landowner in County Fermanagh and his accent is spot-on. You will feel for Beth, played by Ann Skelly; she may be in a little bit of a predicament and you won't know if she's doing the right thing. I couldn't recommend this story more!

General viewing and stuff.

Great with a unsuspecing twist at the end

Well acted

Brilliant DVD. Excellent service

This was an interesting rather weird story. Not something I would want to watch again.

Loved the story

I love this movie. It came in on December 17th. I love the storyline, the actors and the surprising end.Another movie added to my collection.

The BBC adaptation of Eugene McCabe's literary slow-burning thriller is extremely satisfying and faithful to the original. I actually read the novel first, so it was very gratifying to see all the key scenes and quotes included into the script. No unnecessary liberties, no frivolities, no attempt to put a "woke" spin on the story or infuse it with "girl power" to make it more palatable to modern audiences. I don't see Hollywood producing this film. The subject matter is probably too regional and not universal enough. There is not much material to entertain global audiences. Eugene McCabe is a contemporary author who dies a stellar job recreating the Ireland of the 1880s. It definitely helps to possess some rudimentary knowledge on the political and economic climate of the era. Even if you are totally new to the painful Anglo-Irish, Catholic-Protestant conflict, it will not take you long to catch on.The narrative is not always linear, so the director had to rely on flashbacks, which were done seamlessly and never took the viewer out of the moment. The novel spans the events of one day in the life of a young woman whose fragile world is about to collapse. 23-year old Beth Winters is not by any means "feisty" or "defiant". She does attempt to defy her guardian as a contemporary woman would - instead, her frustration takes a homicidal twist. Under certain circumstances, it is easier to murder your oppressor, or get someone else to do it, than attempt to defy him in a battle of wills.
