Tamara Drewe (2011)
Character: Tamara Drewe
Production Status: Post-Production
Release Date: 2011 (UK)
Director: Stephen Frears
Writers: Moira Buffini (screenplay), Posy Simmonds
(graphic novel)
Genre: Comedy / Drama / Romance
MPAA Rating: n/a
Plot Outline:
A woman raises the temperature when she arrives at a writers' retreat in a quiet country village.
As a teenager, Tamara has issues with her looks, but in her early 20s she has cosmetic surgery on her nose, loses weight and transforms herself into a voluptuous beauty who returns to the rural town where she grew up and engages with the locals in country matters.
Tamara becomes romantically involved with three different men: Ben, a fit rock band drummer played by Dominic Cooper; Andy, the dashing groundskeeper essayed by Luke Evans; and Nicholas, the philandering literary retreat organiser played by Roger Allam. His wife Beth is played by Tamsin Greig.
The story is based on a Posy Simmonds newspaper comic strip that was published as a graphic novel in 2007. Simmonds's strip ran in the Guardian's Review section between September 2005 and October 2007 before being collected in a graphic novel. The tragicomic story was inspired by a piece of classic fiction - Thomas Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd; likewise her earlier serialised cartoon, Gemma Bovery, took Flaubert's Madame Bovary as its template.
Gemma's Role:
Gemma Arterton is Tamara Drewe, a newspaper columnist who just happens to be a knock-out beauty. When she arrives at the fictional village, she garners the attention of lusty men - and the ire of their womenfolk.
Simmonds based her tale on Thomas Hardy's Far From The Madding Crowd, with Hardy's heroine Bathsheba becoming Tamara, a writer with a recent nose job.
Gemma explained that she knows 'a lot of people just like Tamara'.
She said she found her character 'lost in her expectations of being a modern woman in today's world - the expectations of beauty and success - when what really desires is to be loved'.
