Chris · 09-13-2008, 01:56 PM

Review of "Little Dorrit" TV mini-series:

‘Little Dorrit’ packed with characters, superb performances
By Robert Lloyd
Los Angeles Times
Saturday, March 28, 2009

Los Angeles —- Charles Dickens wrote big, long books, and when his books become movies it’s good to make them big and long as well.

His many-tendriled, twisty plots can be pruned and compressed with some success but plot isn’t what makes Dickens great. There are the huge cast of characters (not always engaged in moving the story forward), the splendid set pieces and the passages of social observation that all go into creating a world you can get lost in.

“Little Dorrit,” Dickens’ story of money, debt and love in the 1820s —- and whose depiction of a Bernie Madoff-style scandal gives it an eerie currency —- is a very long book. The new BBC import that begins Sunday on PBS lasts eight hours, tells the story straight through and touches most of the novel’s many bases.

The book has been adapted by Andrew Davies, Britain’s go-to guy for making miniseries from Victorian classics.

His road through the material emphasizes mystery and suspense over social comment and satire. The Marshalsea debtors prison, the red tape-entangled Circumlocution Office, the straitened circumstances of Bleeding Heart Yard, the financial meltdown —- these are secondary elements in what plays primarily as a love story haunted by a crime melodrama (with Andy Serkis as a sociopathic Frenchman).

At 34, Matthew Macfadyen (Mr. Darcy in the 2005 feature film “Pride and Prejudice”) is too young for Dickens’ Clennam, but he communicates sober maturity and makes attractive a man whose goodness is exceeded only by his obtuseness.

Claire Foy is strong yet vulnerable as the titular Amy Dorrit, her steadfastness to a less than grateful family, and a less than responsive Clennam, coming across as something better than masochism.

And as William Dorrit, the “Father of the Marshalsea,” and of Amy, a riveting Tom Courtenay paints a delicate portrait of self-deluded gentility clutching at straws, and of a superficially stern parent who is at heart a manipulative (but not unloving) child.

They are joined by a large and wonderful cast that includes Bill Paterson (“Comfort and Joy”), James Fleet (“The Vicar of Dibley”), Eve Myles (“Torchwood”), Freema Agyeman (“Doctor Who”) and Ron Cook as prison gatekeeper Chivery.

Not every character is as described on paper; some don’t stay around long enough to register and others who have earned our interest just disappear. And the story can be confusing at times.

But all in all, this is a dynamic, addictive rendition of a complicated novel that catches the spirit of Dickens’ “roaring streets” where “the noisy and the eager, and the arrogant and the froward and the vain, fretted and chafed, and made their usual uproar.”

There's a long interview and article about Eve and her latest role at Wales Online. I was going to post it here, but it's really long.
