Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

就，节奏慢到像ppt，大量360度的旋转镜头看到想吐……再好的寓意用这种表达方式，又能表达个啥
m21217：骑士成人礼！四星不满。简单故事深学问，信与不信之间摇摆之时要看得深远放弃庇祐勇敢接受荣誉！
我不想做一个标准要求及其高的观影人哦！其实这个片子也就三星的水平，可是我真的好喜欢狗狗，看到狗狗的片子就会毫不犹豫点开。世界上如果真的有红色狗狗也不错！
Il fu Luigi Pirandello， 已故的皮兰德娄，“指导我们行为的准则来自于坟墓和死亡。”
标准的儿童电影，可可爱爱的，社区里的人也都很温暖可爱，治愈电影
强风格弱叙事，铺张纵逸的美术风格，恍如跌入了迷魅郁热的浓雾阵法，巫女的魔法中香料和色粉沸腾满眼符号与意象的缭乱。缚网紧缩，咒诅的时日在背誓之人身后叩响命债的摇铃。那段炫技般奇观巡礼的年华飞速缄默消逝的神游幻境替代了史诗成长的渐进节奏，天顶崩毁，众叛亲离，铬黄和翠绿两种主色翻搅传奇再生的文本复活，视觉享乐的苔藓侵占电影语言的坟茔。在审美标新立异的层面上A24爱好者没有失望，而作为Dev Patel多年影迷，能看到他不再被肤色偏见所困，得体从容扮演自己文化传统中骑士篇章的主人公，感动之余似乎望见亚瑟王传奇在未来可以跨越阿瓦隆迷雾，走出自锁窠臼。
一个纨绔子弟的成“士”之路，要看懂其中的隐喻象征、考验关卡，势必要了解原著故事及相关背景（或看别人的解读）。导演的改编依然注重形式，并没有什么新的概念或想象。有些东西并没有“为什么”，就是“设定”。影片中的章节小标题，感觉有点浪费了。另外那条出场不少的腰带，略显尬尴。
确实漂亮我也确实跟这些史诗故事有隔阂……盯着看也不是说看不懂，但实在是沉闷
儿童电影哈哈哈哈 没东西看的时候看看还是很有意思的 3.5
以皮兰德娄归土为楔子，寄托了还是对哥哥的思悼，穿插历史记录和对死亡的思考，对皮兰德娄遗作改编还是拉了，车厢戏影像确实厉害，看的令人舒坦
Quite heavy both in visual appearance and symbolism, though not necessarily abundant in meaning and coherence. The somewhat progressive reinterpretation of the legend is hackneyed at best, pandering at worst
色彩营造气氛，尾声有黄粱一梦的感觉。传奇？神话？幻觉？谎言？整体过于晦涩而有故作高深之嫌。
What's the meaning of this film?
黑白与彩色，归乡与离乡。
被砍头时的几次躲闪显得真实可爱。
措不及防的主旋律电影，还升华到有色人种问题～
Oh, man. Eerie but fascinating. Actually loved it. And, are you kidding me, Zaddy Dev?
A24:视觉垃圾制造工厂，文艺装逼犯的最后庇护所。
迷离荒诞的奇幻之旅，色彩与镜头的登峰造极，即便放在众多A24杰作之间，《绿衣骑士》仍然是其中极为耀眼的那一部，满分。故事上个人感觉并非晦涩到一筹莫展，导演还是留了很多讲解在的，大体上表现出了这是一场关于骑士的成长冒险，只是细节上的确需要原文对照。
儿童，宠物，童话，降智的永远在抢夺路上的反派，嗯套路雷同也就算了，但是演的真的有点差啊，演技呢演技。。。
