Rating: - Tantalising Serendipity.... Comments by Michael Calum Jacques
Taken as a whole, this is a rather splendid, at times haunting, film which is based upon J.L. Carr's (1916-1994) beautiful and delicately crafted novella entitled 'A Month in the Country', 1980.
The main plot is set during the warm Summer of 1919 and tells of how two young men struggle to regain their 'peace of mind' in the tranquil Yorkshire countryside, after having experienced the horrors of 'The Great War' (World War 1).

Rating:  - Sensitive thought-provoking film.
I love this sensitive film! In fact I pulled it off my bookshelf tonight to watch following the viewing of a popular film from last year (supposed to be so great and funny, but wasn't!). Because I totally felt cheated,I needed movie satisfaction tonight. This film is one I have now seen several times and it gets better with each viewing. Subtle details are noticed. Unfortunatly I own the VHS, but would love to purchase the Region 1 DVD version; I keep looking and hope it becomes available soon. This ... Read More
Rating: - The movie was really good but....
I knew that this movie was in PAL (Region 2) format, which is incompatible with DVD players in the U.S. and Canada (Region 1).

(When I put the DVD in my computer to play, a screen appeared saying that it was incompatible but gave the option of switching over to the District 2 format. With a couple of mouse clicks, I was able to watch the movie and enjoyed it very ... Read More
Rating: - Rate the movie, not the DVD
The previous reviewer has given this only one star, which gives the impression the movie is not good. The movie and the book were exquisite, and the fact that this is not a DVD with suitable tech specs isn't a reason to rate the movie low.
Give the book a read, and then look for region 1 DVD.
Rating:  - A Month In the Country
Well, we read the book and loved it. However, somehow in ordering I managed to miss that the DVD I ordered was Region 2. I got it, opened it and couldn't play it. That is the first time I've run into that problem. However, due to a kind Amazon Friend, I have discovered that I can indeed play it on my computer. Not the most convenient way to do it, but better than nothing. I look forward to updating this review when I have had a chance to watch it.
