The Return of the Native (TV Movie 1994)

The Return of the Native: Directed by Jack Gold. With Catherine Zeta-Jones, Clive Owen, Ray Stevenson, Steven Mackintosh. Reddleman Diggory Venn drives slowly across the heath, carrying a hidden passenger in the back of his van. When darkness falls, the country folk light bonfires on the hills, emphasizing the pagan spirit of the heath and its denizens.

“Now here is an example of how a movie can be worth to a novel itu0026#39;s based on. And if you didnu0026#39;t read the book first (like I didnu0026#39;t), it can break your heart. Because itu0026#39;s a TV movie it never received the full recognition it deserves. I think that had it been done in Hollywood, with all the whistles and bells, it would have been a hit, and Catherine Zeta Jones would have had her 1st academy award.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;ve got to admit I am a Catherine Zeta Jones fan, but at the time I saw this movie on TV I never heard her name. She got here a chance to show her acting skills, and she took it with both hands. Eustacia Vye is so hypnotising and full of passion and dreams, and has such bad lack, it breaks your heart.”
