‘Some say the creature comes back from time to time, looking for his friend. Some claim to have seen it over the years… but the boy never saw it again.’
The Water Horse (2007)
Robert, we all fail. Every day. There are some things we just can’t succeed at no matter how hard we try. I know it’s not what you want to hear.
The Dig, Simon Stone (2021)
“Η Ανασκαφή”: Μια σπουδαία ανακάλυψη από τους Carey Mulligan και Ralph Fiennes
Λίγο πριν από τον Β’ Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο, μια πλούσια Βρετανίδα χήρα προσλαμβάνει έναν αυτοδίδακτο αρχαιολόγο για να ανασύρει κάτι μυστήριο από τη γη της, ο οποίος βρίσκει κάτι μοναδικό.
Το δράμα εποχής Η Ανασκαφή (The Dig) είναι βασισμένο στο ομώνυμο βιβλίο μυθοπλασίας του Τζον Πρέστον, το οποίο επίσης βασίζεται στα πραγματικά γεγονότα της ανασκαφής αγγλοσαξονικών πλοίων του 1939 στο Σάτον Χου στο…
'La Excavación’ con Carey Mulligan, Ralph Fiennes y Lily James, es una vista placentera, hasta que se enreda en numerosos conflictos.
En Inglaterra 1939, al borde de la guerra con Alemania, Edith Pretty contrata al excavador Basil Brown para que busque tesoros de civilizaciones pasadas en las tierras de Sutton Hoo.
Si necesitas una película para sentarte en la tarde, con un buen café, cobijado, sin buscar nada más que apreciar la vida, entonces La Excavación es una muy buena opción, al menos hasta cierto punto. Pues en su…
Another Netflix Original, they’re fair firing them out just now!
Featuring splendid central performances by Ralph Feinnes and Carey Mulligan I’m afraid they are rather better than the script they have to work with, which has holes as big as my underpants in places.
It’s a nice idea though. A 1938 period piece about the discovery of a treasure trove in a place called Sutton Hoo in a race against…
The Dig is the best movie of 2021 I’ve seen, easily. Sure that’s technically because it’s also the only movie of 2021 I’ve seen so far, but honestly I’m just so stoked that Netflix actually put out a good film for once that I’m going to go all in on overhyping this job well done.
The Nevers Teaser
The Nevers follows a group of Victorian women with unusual abilities. People, mostly women, who have these abilities are called the “Touched” and some, like Amalia True and Penance Adair, set out to make a home for the Touched and fight for their cause. The series stars Laura Donnelly, Ann Skelly, Olivia Williams, James Norton, Tom Riley, Ben Chaplin, and Nick Frost.
The Nevers hits HBO Max in April 2021.
'The Dig’ Is A Charming Historical Drama Film.
‘The Dig‘ is a historical drama based on the 1939 excavation of Sutton Hoo. It was released on Netflix and is directed by Simon Stone. It is based on the titular novel by John Preston, which I have not read.
In 1939, widow Edith Pretty (Carey Mulligan) hires excavator Basil Brown (Ralph Fiennes), suspecting a historic burial ground on her property. Edith’s son Robert (Archie Barnes) takes a…
Just watched the most wonderful film on Netflix called ‘The Dig’ with Carey Mulligan and Ralph Fiennes.
It’s all about the discovery and excavation of the Sutton Hoo longship and treasures and I’m just really happy that a film about Archaeology is trending on Netflix.
Makes me want to get my brushes abs trowels out again ( I’m an archaeology graduate)
Lily James and Ben Chaplin were great too as were the rest of a stellar cast.
Go and watch and enjoy 2 hours of loveliness
