Scully does Victorian
Did anyone else catch the breathtaking first episode of “Bleak House” on PBS?
My God…or should I say My Goddess!
I chose it over Desperate Housewives and couldn’t have been happier with my decision. Not only was the cinematography incredible, seeing Gillian Anderson in Victorian garb with a FLAWLESS high class accent proved to me that she is indeed the stellar woman I have always felt she was.
It’s dark. It’s dreary. You can feel the hidden wheels-within-wheels of the story. Dickens was a master writer. The team who has transformed the story into this huge film are genius. The costumes, the lighting, the sound, the music, the visual play of shadow and light all combine to transport you right into mid-19th century England. You can feel the dust when they’re on the street. You can almost smell the candles indoors. And even as the ladies move, you can hear the rustle of fabric.
I look forward to the next five episodes.
