I Capture a Castle

Veteran British TV director Tim Fywell made his feature debut with this poignant family drama. A eccentric family move to a rundown castle where the father hopes to write a masterpiece while his young daughters fall in love with two wealthy American men in the 1930's England. Based on the novel by Dodie Smith, the film keeps the romantic and idyllic tone that fits its eccentric characters rather well. Fywell also got the right cast which shine across the board including Romola Garai, Rose Byrne and Bill Nighy amongst others. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
