PRESS RELEASE

“Tamara Drewe”

The next showing at the Liphook Millennium Centre Cinema will be “Tamara Drewe” on Friday 26 November 2010.

Tamara Drewe (Gemma Arterton) was born and raised in Ewedown, a quiet community in Dorset dominated by a writer's colony run by Nicholas Hardiment (Roger Allam), a best-selling novelist who specializes in crime fiction, and his wife Beth (Tamsin Greig). When Tamara left Ewedown, she was a plain and awkward teenager, but when she returns home for the first time in years, the locals are surprised to discover that time, and a nose job, have turned her into an attractive and alluring woman, and she's gained a share of money and fame thanks to a successful newspaper column. Tamara has returned to Ewedown after the death of her mother in order to refurbish the family home and put it on the market. Before long, Tamara finds herself pursued by three men from her past - Andy Cobb (Luke Evans), her former boyfriend who has been hired to help fix up the house; Ben Sergeant (Dominic Cooper), the swaggering drummer with a local indie rock band flirting with larger success; and Nicholas (Roger Allam), who is chronically unfaithful to his wife and sees an opportunity with the neighborhood girl who was infatuated with him in her teens. As infatuations, jealousies, love affairs and career ambitions collide among the inhabitants of the neighboring farmsteads, Tamara sets a contemporary comedy of manners into play using the oldest magic in the book—sex appeal.

Based on ’ beloved graphic novel of the same name, which was itself inspired by ’s classic Far From the Madding Crowd , this wittily modern take on the romantic English pastoral is a far cry from Hardy’s Wessex.
