Reviews
Schelsinger's masterfully directed eccentric satire is based on Stella Gibbons' 1933 book which spoofs the serious, soul-searching, rural-set stories of writers like D.H. Lawrence and Mary Webb.
Skewers the dark romantic novels of rural England and shows how a control freak can find happiness.
