ALIVE! I finally got to see "Cranford," a series are delicious!
Because here in Italy do not get anything ........! I watched it with subtitles, but how wonderful! A real treat!
Cranford is based on the novel of British writer Elizabeth Gaskell.
The title refers to the fictional country in which the novel is set. It is actually filmed in Lacock, Wiltshire,
a beautiful village, which because of its rural areas, largely untouched since its creation in the 13th century. Is very often used as a set for this period drama and film ..
I've been there several times and it's true! There are no street signs, antennas, modern plates, anything that might give the impression of being in our century, the clock has stopped them 150 years ago!
I read that local residents are proud to take part in the filming as extras! And believe it, I would do it too, and the fly!
The stories describe a series of women, mostly single women and their efforts to preserve, even with little money, appearances bourgeois elegance and grace.
Among them are the Jenkins sisters, spinsters, sisters Tomkinson, Mrs. Forrester, who treats his daughter like a cow, the gossip, the vicar, the doctor, the milliner, and many reached out to other, each with its history, it's funny or sad.
The action takes place within a year (1842-1843), where everybody knows everybody and everybody knows everything about everyone.
One thing I noticed, that the author has combined a romantic style to Jane Austen, the class consciousness of Charles Dickens.
If you look at him, it's worth it!
