Cold Comfort Farm (John Schlesinger, 1995)

In England in the early 1930s, twenty-year-old Flora Poste (Kate Beckinsale), recently orphaned, and left with only one hundred pounds sterling a year, goes to stay with distant relatives on Cold Comfort Farm. Everyone on the gloomy farm is completely around the twist, but Flora tries to sort everything out. 


Director  John Schlesinger
 

Stars   Eileen Atkins, Kate Beckinsale, Ian McKellen, Rufus Sewell.

Based on novel by Stella Gibbons

Director John Schlesinger had to pay for the blow-up from 16mm to 35mm, because neither the BBC, nor Thames Television, who owned the overseas rights, thought the movie would work in the theater, and therefore would not waste their money on the print. It was the fifth highest-earning British movie released in U.S. theaters that year.
