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.

A24的品质看来也是层次不齐，热衷于惊悚片倒是真的。相较于《仲夏夜惊魂》素色静谧的影像氛围，这一部反其道而行，完全依靠调色来渲染，血腥程度也没有退步。拿性说事，这一部还算触碰到一些新颖的思考，老龄化边缘化，身份认同与存在的意义等。参加过两次世界大战的霍华德，海军陆战队退伍改行男优的科森，两人的类比有点意思，一位力有不逮，一位执着于情爱之外的性交。斧子劈门经典桥段又被拿来玩了一通，那片湖泊戏不知是不是从瑞典电影《边境》里抄来的。剧作模式及结构早已被用烂，表演也无甚亮点。
看这部小说时阅读能力还不强，这部电影将其中细腻的情感体现出来了，我觉得挺好
7/10. 精致复古，血浆黄暴，又痛又爽。乘风破浪的奶奶，c位出道，slay全场。
菉竹山房血腥版 除了很多奇奇古怪的致敬以外，最后结尾处是真正搞笑了一把
相比小说，仿佛直接拂掉了文字上的雪，人物境遇和心情都以一种过于现代化的直白呈现，但对话和景别依然保持着古典的时代感，好处是恍如直接触碰冰面一般探寻到人物的刺骨寒冷的徒劳，坏处是《雪国》中岛村无所事事因富而闲的观察所营造的打趣反衬式以及物哀式气氛的韵味消散了大半。角色经历的重现梳理意图过于明显也因此突兀割裂。《雪国》最后那句“待岛村站稳了脚跟，抬头望去，银河好像哗啦一声，向他的心坎上倾泻了下来”完全没拍出来。
何となく好きで、その時に、好きだっと言わなかった方は、いつまでも懐かしい。

仔细回想来我只是在课本上看过《伊豆的舞女》吧，但还是会被川端康成的文字给感动到。觉得他的文字更适合能拍出细腻感情的人来拍，这个电视剧有一些地方，特别开头的部分有那么一些这样的东西，但也可能受限于电视剧这一受众，所以慢慢的就变成了解谜剧。觉得高桥一生不太适合这个角色，但看着看着也好像没那么扎眼了。
你永远可以相信Ti West。时至今日还能看到那么原汁原味的剥削片实属难得。
按电视电影的标准可以还是给个及格分的，奈绪真的很苍井优很像啊，高桥烫个姨一样的泡面头我不太能欣赏。
“一切都是徒劳”驹子后十分钟惊艳燃烧，益生菌这个角色只是背景板的存在所以也在正常发挥之内。
开始看评分6，抱着烂片看一看的态度，以为又要对A24失望了。结果后半部分发现居然还不错。技术到位：蒙太奇剪辑，经典片段致敬，恐怖血腥镜头，首尾照应衔接，耶稣宣言，配乐都很到位！而且这么血腥黄暴的片子居然还道出了个“人生苦短、及时行乐”的鸡汤。可以可以！
因为评分太低而超出预期，非常是我的菜，姑且名之为“文学式电影”。要论表现寂寞，从文学到电影，还得看日本。画面、服装都很美，构图讲究，那些服装纹饰太好看了。奈绪真可以继承苍井优的戏路了，长得像表情像选的角色也像。高桥桑那张脸，越来越沧桑了……
把小雪的剧情给那些日式印象描写还敬导演是条汉子。
私心太喜欢三位主演了，没看过原著，打算看一看了。
多年以后回望这段时间徒劳感也是喝多了几杯子假酒
前半段都是什么牛头人剧情，老太太想年轻时候想的魔怔了吧，通篇下来低级的想笑，不过一些惊吓点做的倒不错
确实如文字一般隐晦，搞得我都犯起了直男癌：驹子，我也不懂你言语中的意会呃…
稀巴烂！稀巴烂是一种怎样的烂，就是连尖酸刻薄的俏皮话都懒得说的烂，又蠢又恶心
驹子不得不为了生计和医治没有婚约的爱人去做艺伎，再忙也要去岛村那儿逛一圈，然而恩客、爱人、老师都相继离去，而岛村终究不是会长久留在雪国的旅客。敏感的叶子最终也死在火场，一切都会有好结果么？都只是虚妄的徒劳么？ | 黑白灰的雪国景色很美。| 根据川端康成的同名小说改编
