Alexandre Desplat’s agile score employs gifted soloists along with the London Symphony Orchestra to help paint the pretty pictures. Simmonds’ fans should be happy as Frears and screenwriter Moira Buffini make pleasing work of her material with plenty of laughs.Ĭinematographer Ben Davis also makes the heaths, woodland and vale plus the cottages in the county of Dorset look ravishing enough to please Hardy himself. Jaunty and entertaining, it’s a faithful rendering of a comic by Posy Simmonds for the upscale British newspaper the Guardian and subsequently published in graphic novel form.
