Movie Reviews of Brother Cadfael - The Virgin in the Ice
Movie Review: The Best of Jacobi's Cadfael
Summary: 4 Stars
Of all of the Brother Cadfael books that were filmed with Derek Jacobi in the title role, this is my favorite! It introduces the sleuthing friar to the son he never knew he had. (Hope that doesn't spoil it for you...) It turns out that the son is as brave and resourceful as his father.
If you are interested in learning more about Olivier (the son), he was brought back into the novels in one of the last written by Ellis Peters, 'Brother Cadfael's Penance'....I wish they could have filmed that one, too, with the same actors!
Enjoy watching Cadfael defend Brother Oswin in this one as well.
Summary of Brother Cadfael - The Virgin in the Ice
The first Brother Cadfael mystery to be released on DVD, The Virgin in the Ice captures all of the elements that make these adaptations of Ellis Peters's novels a perennial PBS favorite. The performances and sets bring 12th-century England to vivid life (although the series was actually filmed in Hungary). Derek Jacobi portrays Cadfael with a quiet authority and just the right edge of world-weariness one would expect from a Crusader turned monk. His search for two missing children and for the band of outlaws who brutally beat one of his fellow monks turns up intrigues and surprise twists that make this episode a captivating human drama as well as an expertly crafted mystery. From frictions within Shrewsbury Abbey to the ongoing war between Queen Maud and King Stephen, The Virgin in the Ice plunges viewers fully into Cadfael's world and all of its unexpected joys and perils.The DVD includes several minutes of audio comments by Derek Jacobi about taking on the role and the appeal of Cadfael. Other special features include biographical information about Ellis Peters (a pseudonym for Edith Pargeter), a production scrapbook of behind-the-scenes photos, and English captions for the hearing-impaired. --Larisa Lomacky Moore
