Watched "Sunset Song" a 2015 film directed by Terence Davies based on a 1932 novel by Scottish writer Lewis Grassic Gibbon.
Not sure what to make of it. It looked beautiful, and there was a fine central performance from Agyness Deyn, but it felt too disjointed to me.
There were almost three separate films. The first part being pretty much full on misery in the shape of the father, the second part joy with the marriage of Christine to Ewan, and then back to misery and despair with the third part at the onset of the 1st World War. Even within the three parts, it felt disjointed.
I thought it was well done but I have issues with the director's approach.
This was on TUBI, which I wasn't aware of until recently, but it is a free streaming channel which has some decent stuff on it.
On reading reviews of the film, I have found out that there is a BBC adaptation dating from the early 70s that is available on BBC Iplayer, which might be worth a punt as the general consensus seems to be that it is better than the more recent film.
