We live here a set of dramatic and exciting events that talks about two stories. The series begin its dramatic events where It is 1944, and in the chaos of war British Army Captain Michael Berryman meets the artist Thomas March in Southern Italy. Despite the fact he has a young fiancé Flora waiting for him back at home, straight-laced Michael finds himself falling for Thomas' bohemian charms.
Man in an Orange Shirt, directed by Michael Samuels, neatly knits the cinematic and sweeping with the subtle and specific into a kind of naturalistic melodrama. It will fill you with feelings, if you let it.
I was afraid the message of "Man in an Orange Shirt" would be simplistic... But the film, strewn with symbols that carry from one story to the other, has other things in mind, and they make it distinctly moving.
"Man in an Orange Shirt" aspires to be a both a romantic tearjerker and a heartfelt family drama. It doesn't quite succeed on either point, but it has merit nonetheless.
Michael Samuels' Man In An Orange Shirt is a very watchable drama that explores both the thrill and, ultimately, the tragic impossibility of a homosexual relationship in 1940s Britain.
I like my period dramas romantic, but slightly gritty. This looks like a picture perfect postcard of middle-class married life, but beneath the facade there is something much more complex at play.
