We highly recommend it to you.
It stars Emily Watson as Maggie Tulliver (Hilary & Jackie--a favorite movie) and James Frain (The Tutors--a favorite TV series) as Philip Wakem.
Here's a short clip:
And here's a photograph of a mill near where we live:

Have you seen The Mill on the Floss?
I would love to hear from you!
If you want events in your life documented or are looking for distinctive nature, portrait or wedding photography--photography with soul that inspires you
to live a more artful and beautiful life,
Sounds great! BBC productions are the best...let's hope norwegian television buys it, so I can watch...
ReplyDeleteHave a great evening,
Ingrid :)
I'm watching Daniel Deronda (another Eliot classic) tonight. I've read Mill on the Floss and will put it in my Netflix queue. Thanks for the suggestion!
ReplyDeleteOh Bruce, I wish I had more time to watch TV! I did watch My Fair Lady this weekend...stop by to see what I made for dinner ! Wishing you a lovely week~
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful, such fine actors. I love these period pieces.
ReplyDeleteI kept starting to read this book last year, and I just couldn't keep going, not for any failing in Eliot's masterpiece, but in my own shortcomings for finishing novels.
I hope you and Susan read Rebecca Mead's piece on George Eliot in last week's New Yorker. If not, please do. You'll like it, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteAndrea, THANKS!!!
ReplyDeleteI have joined your blog mainly for the photos, that I did like a lot, but it just happens that I read The Mill on the Floss - some years ago. It is a beautiful book, subtle emotions all the time around, you can feel the souls, the ambience, the constrains of life, on our own flesh. I have to see the movie. Thanks.
