![]() ![]() ![]() The victim had been killed in the exact same manner as the Slaughterhouse Murders 16 years ago, when Kate had been one of the survivors of the brutal serial killer, a fact not known by anyone outside her estranged Amish family, for she had shot the man dead. It’s been a couple of years since her return when Kate is called out to tend to a nude, female body found in a snowy field. Kate speaks Pennsylvania Dutch as easily as she downs a drink after a tough day. When she returned to her hometown ten years later to tend to her dying mother, the town council knew they had the right person to replace the retiring police chief, someone who knew the ways of the world and the ways of the Amish and could bridge the two communities. ![]() Her innocence shattered by an encounter with the Slaughterhouse Killer when she was 14, Kate left town to attend college and the police academy. ![]() The sleepy, rural town is watched over by its police chief, Kate Burkholder, born and raised Amish, one of the few who decided not to join the church when she was old enough. The Amish and the “English” have lived side by side yet separately in Painters Mill, Ohio for decades. Kindle version from Minotaur Books (June 23, 2009) 367 pages Listening Length: 11 hours 45 minutes ASIN: B002ER24OW Unabridged Audiobook from Macmillan Audio (June 25, 2009) ![]() ![]() ![]() Very enjoyable and worth seeing again and again. I also liked the music very much and find some of the tunes quite hummable. The Cornwall setting is lovely, the radiant sunshine, the green leaves and fine buildings are captured gorgeously by the cameras. The last act of the play is difficult to stage well but Nunn gives it a good shot. ![]() The scene that cuts between Feste's song and Viola/Cesario and Orsino playing cards is wonderful, taking in eight of the characters and telling you more about them. The text of the play is changed around but not unnaturally so. Viola, who was shipwrecked, assists the Duke by disguising herself as Cesario and ends up falling in love with the Duke. This play, mainly based on love, begins with Orsino trying to win Olivia’s love. Imelda Staunton brings unusual depth to the character of Maria. Twelfth Night is a play written by Shakespeare. The scene with Orsino in the bathtub is a stock one but she does it beautifully, balancing the humour of the situation with the tenderness and the longing. Imogen Stubbs does the comedy and the drama equally well. I've never seen Feste played that way but it seemed perfect. It is a film to make you smile at the follies of mankind but also their charm. Grappling with Shakespeare is a perilous activity but I thought Trevor Nunn brought out the comedy and the emotions of the story well. It gripped me from the opening gust of rain on a dark night to Feste dancing off into the sunset. Reading other reviews of 'Twelfth Night' it is interesting to see that some people think it is a slow film and others quite fast. ![]() |
