ITV are to mark the centenary of the outbreak of World War I.Yes, but will it be appropriately judgy and full of dry smarm.
That’s what I want to know.
SMARM? Smarm please. Liberally spread amongst my favourite love triangle.
I don’t ?? know ?? what to feel ?? about this ??
Looks like it’s going to be a docu-drama using archival footage as well as dramatisations:
Starring John Hurt, The Pity of War: The Lives and Loves of the War Poets […] provides an intimate and revealing account of the relationships between Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen and Robert Graves, men who chartered their experiences of World War One with such power, beauty and brutal honesty that their words went on to define a generation.
Played in his later years by John Hurt, Siegfried Sassoon reflects on his life and these key relationships. […] The film also draws on a selection of key poems, letters, diaries and other written accounts to bring to life Sassoon’s recollections, as well as his contemporaneous accounts during the war. With a tapestry of archive, imagery, actors in dramatic sequences, the film is a vivid and moving portrait of the young men behind the most powerful poetry of the last century and how their lives touched one another’s.
