Highly Recommended The Movie: Roman Polanski’s 1979 adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles is an intimate epic, a story peppered with melodramatic twists of fate but presented on a distinctly human scale. The film is also a wonderful showcase for Nastassja Kinski as Tess.

The Sudan is a protectorate of the UK, and they are obligated to help the people there, especially considering the battle helped arm the attackers, a group of Muslim zealots led by …
Recommended Historical war films aren’t usually my cup of tea, unless they cover events that haven’t been done to death already. Cy Endfield’s Zulu (1964) fits the bill by dropping us smack in the beginning of the Anglo-Zulu War circa January 1879, as we see a conflict between the British Empire and the Zulu Kingdom develops in south-eastern Africa.
