The Secret Garden (DVD)
Agnieszka Hollands adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnetts classic fairy tale, THE SECRET GARDEN is a highly entertaining family picture that is overflowing with gorgeous imagery. Ten-year-old Mary Lennox (Kate Maberly) is a spoiled rich girl living in colonial India with her aloof parents who frequent elegant parties and leave her with servants who attend to her every whim. When her parents are killed, however, Mary`s life changes drastically. She`s shipped off to England to live in the enormous manor of her father`s friend, Lord Archibald Craven (John Lynch), and his invalid son, Colin (Heydon Prowse). Lord Craven, a miserable recluse since his wife`s death, ignores his son and leaves the household management to Mrs. Medlock (Maggie Smith), an ironhanded authoritarian. In this cold environment, the children, with help from spirited maid Martha Sowerby and her younger brother, Dickon, manage to find happiness in a special garden hidden away for years. Beautifully shot by Roger Deakins, Hollands film is a visual feast that captures the fantasy like tone of the book without sacrificing any of Burnetts original vision. Zbigniew Preisners magical score adds another lovely dimension, making this a film that individuals of every age can enjoy.PG"
