Tamara Drewe’s Official Trailer and Poster
Ah…my good friends over at Sony Pictures Classics really know how to make my day brighter. Just when I did not think it could possibly get any better (I’m being facetious of course), this press release email comes across my desk. Say what you want about the film, but the fact that Gemma Arterton is the star here has Day 1 purchase on Blu-ray written all over it for me. Check out the full press release, poster art and trailer from Sony Pictures Classics below. To all my Gemma fans (did you hear she maybe landing a big part in the new Alien prequels?)…enjoy!
Official Synopsis:
Based on Posy Simmonds’ beloved graphic novel of the same name (which was itself inspired by Thomas Hardy’s classic Far From the Madding Crowd), this wittily modern take on the romantic English pastorale is a far cry from Hardy’s Wessex. Tamara Drewe’s present-day English countryside-stocked with pompous writers, rich weekenders, bourgeois bohemians, a horny rock star, and a great many Buff Orpington chickens and Belted Galloway cows-is a much funnier place. When Tamara Drewe sashays back to the bucolic village of her youth, life for the locals is thrown tail over teakettle. Tamara-once an ugly duckling-has been transformed into a devastating beauty (with help from plastic surgery). As infatuations, jealousies, love affairs and career ambitions collide among the inhabitants of the neighboring farmsteads, Tamara sets a contemporary comedy of manners into play using the oldest magic in the book-sex appeal.
