Movie Reviews of The Rector's Wife
Movie Review: Buyer Alert !!!
Summary: 4 Stars
On my copy of this DVD set the first DVD had the first and second episodes reversed. Make sure if you watch this that the episode identified as #2 is the one you watch first. Episode # 1 should begin with The Rector's wife doing some office work. Episode #2 begins with a sort of pastoral country village scene. The second DVD doesn't have any problem.
Summary of The Rector's Wife
The deeply moving drama of one woman?s rebellion against convention.Lindsay Duncan (Under the Tuscan Sun, A Year in Provence) delivers a formidable performance as Anna Bouverie, a 20th-century woman trapped in her role as a vicar?s wife in the English village of Loxford. Arranging church socials, delivering the parish newsletter, and answering the rectory?s endlessly ringing phone, Anna feels stifled by her marriage and her circumstances. "I married the man, not the job," she pleads. "I?m not an outboard motor. I?m another boat!"
Anna?s first tentative steps toward self-definition meet resistance from her increasingly distant husband as well as from patronizing parishioners. But when two other men in her orbit offer their support ?and perhaps more?Anna must sort out their real motives and make her choices.
Also featuring Miles Anderson, Stephen Dillane, Pam Ferris, Ronald Pickup, Joyce Redman, and Prunella Scales. As seen on Masterpiece Theatre.
