A Melacholy Evening Was Had By All - Feast of July review by Cato
Based on an H.E. Bates novel, this film is a downer from the opening scene of a girl burying her dead baby on the side of a hill. This may well put you off watching it, but it's an Ismael Merchant production, and all that you see is set in well nigh perfect 19th century surroundings. The acting is flawless with many very good actors (Tom Bell, Jemma Jones and Greg Jones plus many more), but the performance that stands out most is that of Embeth Davidtz, the poor girl, who finds herself living with a local family that has three young and good looking brothers in it, and you can guess what happens. For all it's misery, this is a riveting film, and one that will remain with you for some time afterwards.
