Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

难得在这样题材里性别的比重是均衡的，男性并不缺席，然而他们的在场也于事无补，于是自然地完成了性别的倾斜。珠玉在前，这一部里依旧能找到不错的切入角度，即文学与身体，充当文学实体的书籍与孕后的身体此消彼长，达成一种均衡，巧妙的切入口。
又是一个通过声音来创造体感的绝佳案例;画幅运用绝佳,可以说是讨论个人+社会问题的典范
沈腾马丽“异球恋”好浪漫啊，为了同一个目标而共同努力的互动也非常燃，结局十分震撼。
勉强及格。打捞、挽救历史现象，在反思上，史观和镜语一样，也是有限地，且强烈聚焦于具体女性于彼时的真实困境之上，只是“生而为女人”是相当偶然，到“女性困境”就是永恒的语意必然连续，故事里并非浑然天成，而是沃特鲁梅的表演带来的，甚至都使电影有演员作者化的意味，表演太强了，加一星。
像是《索尔之子》的导演拍了《四月三周两天》
《四月三周两天》珠玉在前，没看出这部电影有什么新东西；甚至它最具痛感的镜头，在《女性瘾者》面前也要逊色好多。
当月球上只剩下沈腾一个人时，他终于拥有了属于自己的宠物。只是别的电影的宠物都是萌宠，小小一只可可爱爱，而沈腾的宠物却不是萌是猛，贪吃、暴躁、超大一只、武力值爆表，别人家宠物是温柔互宠加治愈，沈腾的猛宠却是一日揍他三百拳。更没想到的是，他的人生真的被现场直播了，还是跨球，社死都不带死这么惨的。但是先“相杀”后“相爱”也是一种陪伴和治愈，整体来说电影笑料很足，也有温情，配乐和视觉效果也不错。
不觉得单纯因为题材一样，就可以把《正发生》和《四月三周两天》比，再把后者当作标竿，指出前者所谓的缺失，这又把“男性”当规范给“女性”设限了。在这个男权社会识别压迫机制运作固然重要，但不能忽视女性主体性的重建。多关注女性身体感受女性的疼痛吧，谁说女性的生命体验没有力度不深刻的？
看完的第一观感不如432，甚至和从不很少有时比也稍逊色。但奇就奇在电影有后劲儿值得说说，文本更完整，更具情节性，剪辑也有加分。题材方面虽佳作频出，但还是有美学和试听的独特性。
视听语言非常神奇，确切地把年代戏拍得非常有当代气质，一切都“正在发生”的情绪和理念贯穿在每一个毛孔中。作为严谨的第一视角电影，手持镜头也贴切无比，不动声色，亦步亦深地向内心走去——从这个角度，完成度真不比432差
this is why we need female directors 真实的邻人

ps:选角真的梦幻联动，看着这位波伏瓦出场就很安心
好痛，如果钛是真真实实看到的痛，这就是隐形的痛，无处不在，蔓延在空气里的痛
3 4 7 10 semaines. 没有麻醉，堕胎长镜头，直到那一声啊！阴道流出的血状物。

出售书籍的一幕让人心碎：男权社会下，“生育”成为了“梦想”的对立面。这种强有力的压迫和那些男人的“暴行”——有直接的暴行，也有更多语言与态度上的暴行，甚至有冷眼旁观便是客观施暴的暴行，以及最可怖的剥夺女性选择权利的制度性的暴行，撕碎无数女性应得的人生。
#Sundance#全然关于身体的电影！单是腹部的镜像与口腔吞咽的隆起 都承载着冲撞而不安的力量 但女导演为了避免对女性身体的再度剥削 整体上处理得极为克制 窥视的目光总能在关键处完成恰到好处的后撤 所以遍布浅焦大特写的主观视角下 面孔取代了身体 满载着幽微而丰沛的情绪 更加赤裸裸地袒露在观众面前 合着沉默与苦痛的泪水 争夺身体的主动权 另一方面 本片的女性角色并没有停留于单一的受害者身份 完全处于被动地位 相反 即便行踪被框定于封闭、晦暗、压抑的室内环境中(酒吧跳舞和浴室洗澡这两个重复出现的场景里 Anne无论是身处一众男性还是女性当中 都存在着一层被压迫感) 这位床头墙上挂着萨特海报的文学优等生 总能用其利刃般坚毅的目光 投射向冷漠的男医生、窥淫癖的男同学 再一次完成了权力的夺取
女性在普遍时空背景上承受的苦难
惨像使我目不忍视，漠然令我脊背生寒，但在此类作品的评价中，惊惧之余，亦可对某些所谓“理智”的既得利益看客本质窥知一二。
