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.

看完了！其实是三星半啦，但蛮喜欢最后的结尾所以直接打了四星。是心目中的神仙卡司🥰这种类型应该很小众？但我很爱！之前看柯南堡的电影就很爱，算上这次他和v已经四搭吧🥺
Eggers总是和杰作差半口气，心中的definitive黑金属大电影仍然是Valhalla Rising。不过很喜欢这种迟钝的打斗物理，总的来说是爽到了（看完北方人吃兰州拉面☑）
太多自怨自哀的解构型对话，反而浪费了设定和人类未来大环境的描述。所谓新旧两派和真正的“罪行”都只是浅浅而谈
其实这次的多数镜头色调还蛮温柔的。
就跟大部分独立导演第一次拍大制作一样，风格突出，视听服化道讲究，剧本没意思有佳句无佳章，动作戏稀烂难看至极。
很美 故事欠点火候但总体想法很好 （看完这部对K脱粉了 演技好差 做作的要死
在《狗镇》（2003）中，格蕾丝·玛格丽特·穆利根（妮可·基德曼饰）被演员亚历山大·斯卡斯加德的父亲斯特拉恩·斯卡斯加德饰演的查克强奸。在电视剧《大小谎言》（2017）中，塞莱斯特·赖特（妮可·基德曼饰）被演员亚历山大·斯卡斯加德饰演的丈夫佩里·赖特虐待。在《北欧人》（2022）中，1967年出生的妮可·基德曼饰演Queen Gudrún，被1976年出生的亚历山大·斯卡斯加德饰演的儿子Amleth杀死。
看之前最好先熟悉导演的风格，或至少先看过《欲望号快车》，直接看本片会有些过于生猛，是的，柯南伯格在关于人类的肉体与精神的分离性上走得更远了。这部电影是《欲望号快车》的延深，进一步探讨人类与自身肉体之间的关系，我们是否真正对身体具有主宰权，人类对快感无休止的追求将会迎来一个怎样的“未来”以及对人类异化母题更为深沉的探讨。片中将切割肉体作为艺术表演的形式，当切割本身带来了快感，人类对“老式”的身体接触变得陌生而麻木，掌控器官的另一边是基本吞咽都做不到，隐隐感受到这是人类未来精神脱离肉体束缚前必有的一步，而可见的男女主中期后化为死神与撒旦的形象也预示了高潮走向。拍电影到柯南伯格这个岁数早已摆脱了格式的拘束与题材的重复，更加怪异病态的美感与突破伦理的尝试必将令其不俗，那为何还三星？因为真的不好看啊！
北欧封建迷信大全+冰岛旅游宣传片。很刺激，大部分时候在咦惹、哇哦和哈哈哈哈哈哈之间反复横跳。妮可基德曼xxxxx的时候我的内心活动：您和谏山创一定有很多共同语言……
三星半。第三幕与结尾的平淡摧毁了观众的观影期待。创意概念和视觉奇观还是蛮柯南伯格的。舞台剧的场景表演有种似有似无的形式感，使得演员都较好的抓住了表演状态。但特意的去深刻解读这类片子会比较心累。
北欧怪力从midsommar以来好像就成了个潮流 请多来点，这我还是吃得下的
话剧质感，卡司强大，风景原始，基本上是写实北欧那时候的野蛮残酷生活了，还有些神叨叨，树的画面美到窒息，残暴的画面也是极度舒适。剧情简单，不过，内容有血有肉。连着把北欧几个国家走完，我是真的不喜欢北欧，骨子里就野蛮没文化，如今也就是仍旧贫困的暴发户啊，挪威风景很美。看到最后发现是北欧版《王字复仇记》，真真大悲剧!安雅太好看了! 特效真的太美了，最后王子复仇了，还变成了神灵？
开头差点劝退。撇开高中话剧社排练式的表演不谈，我的脑子也十分拒绝接受这么一群人说英语，任何人一开口都尬出天际……全场最佳威廉达福，人扮狗的戏、夜遇巫婆什么还算有点艾格斯自己的调调（另外后面有个“装置艺术”不错）。整体乏善可陈，游戏感十足，剧情无聊且corny得可以忽略不计，不过夜戏的古怪色调我蛮喜欢
非常非常的普，就没有一个东西是新的。首先维京文明已经有些过度改编了，而北欧人无论在画面上还是内容上都没有任何新意，涵盖的基本就是你看到片名后十秒内联想到的内容。罗伯特艾格斯如果只是想忠实记录民俗的话，其实不用拍电影的。主线故事大概有个一千多岁了吧，看完演员表加豆瓣简介约等于看完电影了，不会有任何超出你预期的剧情。最不懂的是有人吹摄影。这个投资级别的电影拿出几个调度还行的长镜头真的值得吹吗。至少对我来说，最失望的一点就是摄影。罗伯特艾格斯一直是个风格化的创作者，但北欧人的每一帧都通用到可以插入任何一个关于北欧的视频。看不到任何一点表达，没有任何令人感觉新奇的视觉元素。且不说很多画面撞了很多其他电影，有些片段真的太蠢了，蠢到我以为自己在看什么游戏的过场CG。
我从未见过这么艺术的史诗片。一开始我是冲着《冰海战记》真人版看的，结果开场没多久错认为这是醇厚的A24暴力神棍片，结尾回想确实是哈姆雷特原型。看到导演我明白了，他的片子后劲都有点大。以及冰岛演员演冰岛人好合适啊！尤其是Björk哈哈哈哈！
雷声大，雨点小。本片由于题材另类和前卫，上映之前关注度很高，但得见真面目后并未觉得如何惊艳。题材确实很新颖，但是观感很平淡，也许是曲高和寡吧，至少我觉得影片的娱乐性很弱。
打戏完全不行，文戏我寻思北欧人也不兴跟英国人似的文绉绉的啊。同样是北欧的复仇故事我还不如回去看《冰海战记》，虽然后者毒点也不少。
又是一部R级，略感肠胃不适。剧情逻辑有几处不大理解，但是再现了维京人曾经的生活场景，真实历史(比如划着海盗船去Rus劫掠斯拉夫人当作奴隶卖到Oleg的基辅土耳其和冰岛)里穿插有这个族群的原始信仰与神话，值得一看。以欧亚大陆另一端的脑回路我一直在想这些一千年前还在茹毛饮血的“野蛮人”是怎们变成现在的样子的，而公元895年那时已经开始印木版书籍纺织丝绢品茗吟诗的我们又怎样在一千年后退回到文蛤时那种野蛮无序的杀戮的。嗯，血性与奴性。这些小国王以力量取胜受民众推选，重视荣誉大于自己的生命，民众是自由人，不同于清时奴隶主子的君民关系。权力对于遵奉血性的族群意味着荣誉和力量，而对于屈膝于奴性的族群意味着利益和欲望。奴隶不是天生的，日耳曼人罗马人都当过彼此的奴隶。弱的时候思考着变强大，而不是满足于依附强大。又跑题了
虽然每一次的行为艺术更像是掺杂着欲望的变体，但感觉重口程度也不如钛看着疼，也没有钛的表现手法那般直白。加了很多的概念，像是在谈哲学，但是完全不懂哲学的人看这个片无疑是对牛弹琴即视感。
当痛觉消失，当手术刀切入身体成为一种获得快感的途径，当人类可以随意操纵自己的器官
