7/10
If you have the time, watch this one!

I just watched the 7-episode DVD: The Mayor of Casterbridge. It was long and segmented. (If he is the Mayor why do they choose only family scenes?)

I kept changing the volume, because I found the voices hard to hear. They were either too soft and muffled or too loud and slurred, as in a drunken state.Besides, they were speaking with an English or Scottish accent!

One of the themes was about fathers: real fathers and what is a real father. The couple that comes together in the end, were cute. the Mayor, main character, was somewhat realistic, yet complex. He is his own man, yet haunted by his own decisions.

Does anyone know, is Casterbridge a real place?
