 Monsignor Renard | |
| I first saw this on TVO and like it very much. When I saw it for sale from a "Master Piece Theater" production I ordered it to add to my British collection. When I watch it it seemed to be incomplete so I rewatched the TVO version that I had recorded and was suprised to see it was a longer version. The TVO version was done in 3; 2 hour parts. The "Master Piece Theater" version was only 2;2hoyr parts. The first two hours, That establish all the characters was missing. Needless to saw I was disappointed and have not purchased anything done by "Master Piece Theater" since | |
| Dominic Monaghan's cut scenes - US version | |
| I also bought this miniseries to satisfy a Dom-sweet-tooth, and am absolutely in awe of his stunning performance. Be warned that it is far more intense, of course, than Hetty Wainthropp, and much more disturbing than LOTR. It is also sublimely scripted and full of nuance - a brilliant piece of writing and performance. However, the entire first episode was cut from the US version, and it is really crucial to understand the journey of Dom's character, Etienne. I cannot recommend highly enough going to BrandyHall.net and downloading two pivotal cut scenes there in The Gallery. I promise it'll change your entire understanding of Etienne Pierre Rollinger. | |
 Monaghan | |
| I purchased this set primarily as a fan of the actor Dominic Monaghan...while he does not play a large role in the first two episodes, he gives a powerhouse performance in the last. His confession to Monsignor Renard, prior to his death, is heart- breaking. While the actions of his character are reprehensible, you can understand the reasons for them, while not approving the acts. The ending of the film was a bit abrupt, and I was hopeful for a more tidy conclusion...I wanted to know more about what happened to Alene, as well as what happened with the mother of the young boy killed in the battle of france. All in all, I recommend this film highly, particularly to fellow fans of Dominic Monaghan. |
