TRAGIC ROMANCE
Having never read Thomas Hardy`s classic novel I cannot make a judgment on the merits of this as an adaptation. However, as a film, Tess of the D`Urbervilles is a very beautiful and well-done BBC period piece. It is shot in the lush English countryside and all of the actors do an exceptional job.

Fans of Jane Austen and other BBC classic pieces (Wives and Daughters etc.) would most likely enjoy. I was disappointed that the ending was not a wholly happy one, still it was enjoyable.
