Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

岁数大了，不喜欢牺牲自己来拯救世界
有一件事情需要明确，无子宫者没有资格去控制女性的子宫，而捍卫堕胎本质上就是对生命权的捍卫🙏
这个也太流水命题作文了 而且看到的还是意大利语配音版。。。。
就特别好奇被删掉的五分钟到底是什么画面！自己用针弄也是狠！在卫生间拉出来那几秒的镜头真是血腥！女孩子要保护好自己啊！
现实写照，一起尽在发生。关爱女性也是关爱人类自己。欲望、安全、措施、自爱，失去的也是自己。
题材好，拍得差，拍得是个什么？连流水账都不算上，以正向时间为序，一个接一个的单调场景像是在逛片场；看完整部电影，愣是还不了解主人公是一个怎样的女生，只是像个遥控人一样被导演操纵，很迷惑。所以明明是个很尖锐的、可以向时代发声问责的题材，拍出来就是像哆啦A梦中大雄的表情包语句一样——「你把大家叫出来就是为了这事啊」。不否认三大电影节的含金量，但是否认这部金狮子。
确实是无处不在发生的一种现实。最恐怖的也许并不是被迫独自面对一切和的生理和心理上的剧痛，而是即便女性处在巨大的怀孕后的焦虑与惶恐之下，对于某些男性来说则是那即使发生关系也不会怎样的便利。这种以性别为借口的堂而皇之的冷漠才是最令人绝望的。影片足够冷静克制，以至于残忍而直白，但这就是现实。
对，我就笑点低——所以全程觉得笑点特别密集。
全程被打到不能自已 布雷亚的女人在树林里草草结束了自己的初夜 正发生的anne在厨房匆匆开始了人流 这些人是同一拨人 那么渴望又痛苦地活着 看到短评里的女权口号简直烦透了 电影给的是沉浸式体验 是给不能调整的胸罩肩带上别针 孕期忍不住饥饿偷吃食物 洗浴间的female gaze 夹枕头触碰g点 色情贴画 孕期需要support的性爱 以及那些寒光凛凛的手术刀 镜头频频对准女主的私处 当听到马桶里胚胎掉落的声音整个人绷不住了 就是这个声音 用杂物剪刀剪脐带 这些记忆会让我一辈子憎恶男人/爸爸在中段才出现 制造了一些让人想要遗忘的记忆 即使他看着那么可爱 让我明白为什么他是孩子的爸爸 男性朋友的帮忙 夹杂了随之而来让人难以忍受的爱抚 酒吧的调情 当你是女人时 每人每刻都在提醒你是个女人 5/10
《四月三周两天》堕胎引产都这么可怕直观得拍出来警示众人了 还有更多想象不到的舆论压力 一切后果自己承担 女孩子对自己好一点吧 女主酷似赵今麦
属于只有女性才真完全感同身受的影片，她们的过去并非不是我们的未来。一方面女性身体的掌控权属于自己太重要；另一方面男性在性方面的成本低到离谱。
可能不是堕胎三部曲里最好的一部，但却是让我哭出来的那一部。再早个几年我可能还会抵触这种题材的片子，至少现在不会了，有的故事讲多少遍都不嫌多，只要你敢拍我就敢看。A woman can be destroyed but not defeated. 女性并不等同于弱者，你可以千万次伤害我，但是你别想打败我。
观影过程中数次落泪，几乎对故事中女性的痛苦恐惧绝望无力感同身受。我不愿用“那个时代的女性”代称她们，因为你我都知晓深渊从未远去，无时无刻不在伺机而动，随时可能吞噬下一个你我她。
半小时体量的题材伴随生殖感官的拉伸，但剪辑上象征时间的压迫和周遭环境的变化还是有点过于苍白，女主表演灵气很符合基调，大胆的镜头内容下痛感的宣泄仍然是孤立的，文学的多次存在互文很有亮点。
法国版《悲伤逆流成河》，没有刻意的渲染但整部影片充斥着压抑和恐惧，足够让观众带入少女恐惧的视角，平稳有力地牵动全场观众的情绪，这片子要是早几年上映郭敬明应该会放弃导演梦。。
之前课上还聊到过，相比起说它的性别视角，《四月三周两天》的立足点更多是社会和历史的，堕胎和女性生活几乎仅仅是它的切入点和开口——这部《正发生》则和它形成了有效的互动和彼此补足。观影过程中定位时代之后很难不想起《一个唱，一个不唱》，这种信息层面对历史时间的刻意设计（片名亦是），明显意在引起对“现代/当代”生活的反思:没有幸运，没有安全，没有自然而然。
直接的可怕，主题跟之前一些作品类似，没什么出彩的，大招在最后。特写跟拍，完全聚焦个人情绪，痛感伴随着无助，永远无法经历的伤痛，是女人不该得的“病”，却是这个社会的病
基调比想象中轻盈，故事讲述及镜头语言也更偏向描绘安妮的个人感受，不过这时候在美国上映真是过于应景。给我最大的感慨竟然是她那两个好朋友，发现怀孕之后居然直接形同陌路了上课都不要坐一起，虽然人之常情但直接搞到女主面对有爱的父母及并不糟糕的物质生活却依旧孤立无援，这某种意义上比432还要绝望
同样的题材拍了这么多，新世纪以来能在影史留名的也有另外两部，四三二NRSA，但这部还是非常动人，文学与身体的切入点太妙了，以及讲到女性的需求，家庭 学校 社会的位置，自由与权力，四三二之后十五年了，关于女性身体自由的讨论似乎不进反退，女性议题是否必须如此撕裂开来，才能让人有一点点触动？当然。
时空错位的感觉最令人震惊，好几次以为这部电影的时间设置是当代... 疼痛和无力感仍然正发生着
