The Forsyte Saga (2002 TV Series)
''The Forsyte Saga'' is a British drama television serial that chronicles the lives of three generations of an upper-middle-class family from the 1870s to 1920s. It was based on the books of John Galsworthy's trilogy ''The Forsyte Saga'', which were adapted by Granada Television for the ITV network in 2002 (Series I) and 2003 (Series II). Additional funding was provided by American PBS station WGBH, as the 1967 BBC version had been a success on PBS in the early 1970s. Development The author Malcolm Bradbury wrote that the prospect of the new series "brings a tear to the eye and a smile to the lips"; a tear because time had passed the culturally-significant original by, but smile because investment in a classic project is good. The makers of the 2002 version felt that any new production would be compared with the 1967 version, which set the standards for period drama for the next 25 years. The idea came initially from David Liddiment, ITV's director of channels, who ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Så Vit Som En Snö
''As White as in Snow'' (Swedish title: ''Så vit som en snö'') is a Swedish film which was released to cinemas in Sweden on 16 February 2001, directed by Jan Troell. It won three Guldbagge Awards, for best film, best direction and best cinematography, and was nominated for best screenplay. The screenplay is based on the novel '' Den ofullbordade himlen'' by Jacques Werup, which in turn is very loosely inspired by the life of Elsa Andersson, the first woman aviator in Sweden. She is portrayed by Amanda Ooms in the movie. Other key characters are played by Björn Granath, Stina Ekblad, Shanti Roney, Björn Kjellman, Reine Brynolfsson and Rikard Wolff. The grammatically awkward title (literally translated ''"As white as a snow"'') is a quote from a poem/song (''" Lejonbruden"''), which is performed in the movie. Cast * Amanda Ooms - Elsa Andersson * Rikard Wolff - Robert Friedman * Björn Granath - Sven Andersson * Björn Kjellman - Erik Magnusson * Stina Ekblad - St ...
