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.

对比，世界上最糟糕的人，你觉得我是谁。I want it, I want it very much。你是我一生唯一冒过的险。无聊的名字，无聊的人生，一生遵守父权定下的女性规则，从未逾越（愉悦）。31年的夫妻生活，机械运动，假装高潮，这是我唯一学会的性爱姿势。我永远在下面，No oral。从未尝试在上面，后面。前戏后戏，爱抚抚摸，深入探索彼此的身体。性是美妙，不是可耻，Concupiscense。最后的看着年轻的肉体，手指深入，自w，对镜自照，下垂的乳，松垮的肌肤，容貌焦虑，body shame再也无法击垮我，每一道皱纹都是我努力赚来的。我也有欲望，我想要！我就是老色鬼！seedy old pervert。毕竟谁不贪恋年轻的肉体，如水的肌肤，紧凑的胸肌，腹肌，口水。。中间的越线，小鲜肉的身子，更想要TA的灵，灵与肉双修。
让人感受到了性的纯净和美妙。纯粹的性，可以抵达超越男女之情的爱。人与人之间最美好的关系是能充分信任，充当彼此的镜子，映照出自身的自卑与骄傲，隐忍与愉悦。
很有伯格曼的感觉，空间局限在小房间里，看点在两人间的互动张力变化。Nancy太有趣了，前半段我一直在笑，以及没想到第一次居然是个从白天开始的case！看了大家的负面评价，看时完全没有想到那部分。我觉得影片的重点在“年老后渐成的女性主义新成员”，以及片子写男人的心理也写得挺好的。男主的劲儿有点儿陈伟霆。
看完真是热泪盈眶🥹，女性对自我身体的贬低在今天也是处处可见，到处是营销白得发光，瘦得有直角肩A4背……仿佛身体就是女性的原罪，更别提身体带来的快乐，那更是羞耻堕落的代名词，更有甚者被贴上荡妇标签……2022年的今天结合四周正在发生的一切，女性到底是走向使女的故事，还是走向解放，真的一言难尽。
这就是花钱做counselling吧。女性永远在自我审视。为什么要调查人家的名字？冲突设置稍感不适。
很有趣，讲述一个退休教师，寡妇鼓起勇气斥巨资请来一位高帅的性工作者完成之前在婚内从没有实现的性探索。
3.5。工整，固定场景，青春帅气的男鸭，和丧偶的白人中年妇女之间的四次交易。其实电影中很直白地表露出，最后男性性工作者引以为傲自己的职业，而这场金钱买来的肉体关系里，白人妇女是为了索求一个刺激，因为她这辈子除了丈夫以外没有第二个性爱。而她最后，是靠自己达到高潮。在这场无疾而终的交易关系里，男鸭只是她的摆渡人（正视衰老的魅力），而她又成了男鸭的激励者（正视童年创伤），遗憾的是，这里有非常浓厚的女性意淫和凝视——女性老去时，会买一个身材很好又体贴的男鸭，他还会照顾我们的情绪，甚至成为朋友。这一幕幕其实不过是一场金钱交易下的幻梦，男鸭永远擅长表演和讨好的，所以，探索风月时，它只用成为一个释怀和解压的工具，各取所需，不必强求一段关系。那么他们做到了。（男主身材长相确实很男模，算是让女孩们饱眼福了。）
从头到尾只让人看到一件事，女性的性压抑。别的东西都是泛泛而谈，像男主的肌肉一样空有其型，一个训练有素的ai完成女主设定的程序。但是性压抑性羞耻这件事太值得说了所以多加一星，我现在都不知道怎么合理看待。性是不好的这件事，如果是父权制带来的，为什么没有任何男性受到过这种洗脑影响?又为什么是女性更容易emotionally attached to the sex partener?有待探索。
Sex Saint.
很精巧简洁的室内剧，全部靠对话和两个人的互动撑起来。我很喜欢前两夜的对话，经常让我捧腹。Emma Thompson的表演是大师级的，年轻的男妓十分可爱，非常松弛。而且，非常帅！
有些理想化了其实，清新得如同一场fantasy。（莫名发现自己好像更容易代入Leo这个角色及其职业，even as a woman）（Emma Thompson演得真是太好了）
#2022 圣丹斯# 这部电影会在三大之前就被列为年度十佳的候选！推荐给所有对心理学，尤其是精神分析感兴趣的小伙伴。故事表面看似是老年女性和青年男性之间的sex交易，但是两位陌生人之间通过逐步深入的四次心灵（肉体）互动，不知不觉成为各自的心理疗愈师，抽丝剥茧地逐一解决了各自人生中所遭遇的原生家庭，亲密关系以及自我认同方面的各层危机，属于年度必看佳片
她跟男孩坦诚自己的无礼，表示对他工作的尊重理解，并为曾经给学生安上淫荡的污名道歉。
美貌和金钱才是硬通货，少了任何一个这个故事也就不存在了。
议题老生常谈，没啥惊喜。女主负责演技，男主负责卖肉。前面三次见面铺垫对立，最后一次见面和解。性工作者的身份得以释然，女性的高潮终究依靠自己。年老的女性角色、老去的躯体，谁说不能散发光芒？！
艾玛的独角戏舞台。从羞于认识自己的身体到最后对着镜子抚摸，一个女人对性欲的觉醒和探索，啊，几年前的我本人，而这无关乎年龄！
对话电影形式，我是比较喜欢的，当然我指的是这种高质量高逼格的对话。
concupiscence / 可惜说教感太重
Good luck to you, you and you.
6.28 没想到竟然是一部室内二人转话疗片，最喜欢的两个镜头其实是艾玛汤普森在卫生间，男主角百无聊赖发呆的状态，呼之欲出穿透屏幕的空虚
