| User ReviewPatric Ci stayed up until nearly 2am watching this last night on more 4! it was superb: a stellar cast, and showed how awful life was for fallen women in 18th century london. it was occasionally interspersed with news bulletin voiceovers from the 21st century which were pertinent to the unfolding drama, and brilliantly demonstrated that the squalor, alcoholism, drug addiction, degradation, exploitation, poverty, disease, starvation, death and everything else associated with the sex trade are still with us. |
| User ReviewTara HImagining the story behind William Hogarth and the unnamed woman (or women) who inspired his famous work, A Harlot's Progress. Like Hogarth's art, this film is an indictment of the squalor and hypocrisy of Georgian London. A great cast, including Toby Jones, Zoe Tapper and Sophie Thompson. Brings powerfully to life the indignation behind Hogarth's biting satire, and by using voiceovers, compares the ills of that age to the present day. |
| User ReviewDylan TDefinitely a very refreshing period piece. Not striving for authenticity, the envisioning of Hogarth's series of paintings, and other integration with artwork, is very interesting. The injection of more modern references provides a empathic bridge to the past. It doesn't always work, but overall this was a pretty good film. |
| User ReviewAmethyst vInteresting story line about William Hogarth, a famous painter who was inspired to paint the poverty and misery of his time and the women driven by their poor environment into the sordid and dangerous life of prostitution. He too rose from poverty to prominence due to his art work. |
