The star is Gemma Arterton, famous for her Bond Girl portrayal of Strawberry Fields in Quantum of Solace. It is a rather farcical sex romp through the gorgeous Dorset countryside, so if bed hopping in films bothers you, consider yourself warned. Image from Posy Simmonds' graphic novel Tamara Drewe Directed by Stephen Frears (of The Queen and Dangerous Liaisons ), it follows a journalist back to her hometown, after she has transformed her appearance through rhinoplasty. A takeoff on Hardy's Far From The Madding Crowd, it is a modern day version, much like Bridget Jones's Diary is a modern riff on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Tamara Drewe is an interesting little film based directly on a graphic novel (read comic book) by Posy Simmonds originally published in serial form in The Guardian newspaper.
