Fantastic February 12, 2008

I'm from Italy, and my wife was born in England and lived there more than 20 yrs. I began to love Great Britain year by year, journey by journey, and I want to say as outsider, that this opera simply sang every cord in my heart according to my feeling of love towards this fantastic country.
Really well made, and very original showing pictures near beautiful and fantastic landscapes.
Really enjoyable at any time

I had very little or no intrest in art when I watched this film and I realy enjoyed this series. Very well presented and full of interesting information, not only about art, but periods in history, places, people, myths, tourism, industrial revolution, landscapes and more. I wasnt expecting anything this good when I bought this dvd. there are six one hour episodes , well worth the price of admition.

This series is extremely well presented, informative and engrossing. Its wonderful to see that we have managed to capture some of the finer qualities of our country.
A masterpiece of filming, and without doubt one of my top 5 documentaries.
Also see how we built britian too.

This realy is excellent. David Dimbleby tours Great Britain and Northern Ireland to commune with the artists , poets and writers who have used it for inspiration.
This would make a fine introduction to the vistas and scenery of rural Britain for any foreigner or, come to think of it, a reminder for an expat.
We also get to see another side of pre-eminent journalist David Dimbleby; at times it's quite a personal journey of his which he clearly enjoyed immensely.
There is also interesting use of perspective and movement of the camera as it tries to breath life into the two dimensional artwork.
My only quibble is that when the film unit filmed the Malvern Hills, in 'Elgar Country', it did so at dusk thus showing the hills in near darkness. I think that the visit was rushed and that the recording of the scenes must have started very late one afternoon.
(I have the 2 disc DVD edition)

I've been to Britain just once, as I live in Bulgaria. But to tell you the truth, I ordered that DVD (set of 2 DVDs) as I need a reminder and remembrance of the glorious scenery. When I got it, I kept watching it for hours. And I showed the films to my parents and my grandparents, without even needing to translate it, as the images spoke for themselves. There's more than British scenery, but I cannot find words to describe it. Wonderful, marvelous films!
