Movie Reviews of Tess (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Tess with a Polish accent
Summary: 3 Stars
Dishonored by her ersatz cousin , Tess has a child who dies. After some time she finds love while milking cows with an "Angel", but their marriage is spoiled by Tess telling the truth about her past.
Bad comes to worse when her father dies and the family loses their tenant
status on the farm.
Comes to marry her rich cousin to keep a roof over her Mom and siblings,
but when Angle returns sick from Brazil and searches out Tess,
the end is not a happy one.
I thought that although the staging, costuming and most of the acting
was well done, the lead was played believably.
Summary of Tess (Special Edition)
A young strong-willed peasant girl becomes the affection of two men in the end tragically falling into the arms of one. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 11/28/2006 Starring: Nastassja Kinski Peter Firth Run time: 172 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Roman PolanskiRoman Polanski adapted Thomas Hardy's novel Tess of the D'Urbervilles and came up with this moody, haunting film starring Nastassia Kinski as the farm girl who is misused by the aristocrat for whom she works and who is then caught in a marriage where her initial happiness soon turns to grief. Fans of the novel may feel unpersuaded by Polanski's effort to marry Hardy's Dorset vision with his own fascination with psychosexual impulses toward survival, but the film is an often stunning thing to see, and Kinski's sensitive, intelligent performance lingers in the memory. --Tom Keogh
