Tamara Drewe

The return of beautiful journalist Tamara Drewe (Gemma Arterton) awakens destructive passions in a Dorset village.

Stephen Frears directs this wry comic take on middle-class manners, frustration and sexual rivalry in an English village, based on Posy Simmonds' perceptive graphic novel - itself an update of Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd. With great supporting turns by Roger Allam as Tamara's lecherous neighbour, Tamsin Greig as his long-suffering wife and Dominic Cooper as Tamara's rock star boyfriend
