Cold Comfort Farm (1995)
Comedy | Romance
She discovered a new branch of her family tree…The one with all the nuts. From Academy Award winning director John Schlesinger comes a brilliantly witty film. Starring Kate Beckinsale (Pearl Harbor) as Flora Poste, a London society girl and Joanna Lumley (Absolutely Fabulous) as Flora's friend and mentor, this heartwarming comedy is full of charm and clever satire. Recently orphaned, Flora ignores the sage advice of Mrs. Smiley (Lumley) and moves to the country to live on a decrepit farm with her eccentric relatives. Fancying herself a writer, Flora encounters perfect material for her novel in the humorously odd collection of rural characters. In her own inimitable way, Flora insists on creating order out of their chaos, and in the process she fills their lives with light and laughter. Also starring Rufus Sewell (A Knights Tale), Ian McKellen (Lord Of The Rings) and Eileen Atkins.
