5 out of 5 stars My wife just loves it!   September 1, 2010
Archie Pelago (Hampshire)
I bought this DVD for my wife in July. She's watched it (running time over 11 hours) 4 times already. She loves it!

We're both very impressed by the acting of Rupert Graves as Soames Forsyte, whose presence on screen is chilling.

Very happy with the delivery service unfortunately one part of disc one would not play properly


5 out of 5 stars Watch it after reading!   August 7, 2010
I. Warren
I read the first Forsyte trilogy that this series is based on and wanted to re watch it. I think its done very well, and I particularly like Damien Lewis as Soames. I know he has red hair, but I think he captures the character so well. The rather remote, seemingly unemotional man, who hides a great passion. I do agree that Gina Mckee doesn't really cut the mustard looks wise, but I do think she also captures Irene's aloof rather condescending characteristics. I have to say that in the book I found her rather unlikeable. It's definitely worth watching, and i might the old black and white one next.

I have to agree with Judith about this version. I know they adapt books and I am not a purist as I thought they did sterling work on Lord of the rings triology considering what a mighty work Jackson and Co had to contend with, but I felt Irene was all wrong. Nothing against Gina McKee, but she was all wrong for the part. Nyree Dawn Porter was so lovely in the 60s version, and yes, blonde and passionate when she found love. Even when Gina McKee was happy, she still looked as if she'd been slapped in the face with a wet fish. On the other hand, I loved Corin Redgrave and Rupert Graves. Bosinney very good too. I also had trouble with the ageing. And I couldnt cope with Barbara Flynn being Damian Lewis' mother, at one point I thought she was his sister! But I think thats because I still remember her in very sexy roles. She suddenly seems to be playing lots of staid, matronly parts. Is this what we do to actresses over 40?
One good thing though, its made me want to re-read the novels.
I would recommend this dvd as a preliminary to reading the novels for anyone who hasnt read it but be ready to be disappointed.

I ordered this for my mother who thinks that Damian Lewis is fab. Both mother and I watched the original and this re-make is equally good if not better. Damian Lewis is wonderfully fitted to the role of Soames. Many hours of enjoyment have ensued.
