Netflix's The Dig review: An archaeology drama with impeccable acting


BASIL BROWN, played in
The Dig by Ralph Fiennes, was the principal archaeologist behind the 1939 excavation of Sutton Hoo in Suffolk, England. It is now considered one of the most important finds in Britain, the majesty of its 27-metre burial ship and 7th-century Anglo-Saxon treasures reframing historians’ view of the so-called Dark Ages.
However, it was very nearly missed – and Brown wasn’t always acknowledged for his efforts. He was a self-educated archaeologist and astronomer, who spent much of his income as a tenant farmer and insurance agent on that education. Being an independent scholar without an academic post was an irregularity that led to the omission of his name at the British Museum’s display of the Sutton Hoo treasures for decades.

'The Dig' stays on the surface of a historic discovery | Culture


In 1938, excavator Basil Brown broke ground at the Sutton Hoo estate in Suffolk, England, investigating a series of mounds on the property of landowner Edith Pretty. There, he makes an overwhelming discovery: the mounds mark the burial site of an Anglo-Saxon king. 
Director Simon Stone brings the narrative to life in “The Dig,” a recent Netflix film based on both the historical incident and John Preston’s novel of the same name. For a production about a significant discovery, it handles themes of exploration and the importance of history lightly, leaving everything at face value when there’s clearly more to say.

Netflix's new Sutton Hoo film The Dig is caught up in sexism row


Netflix's The Dig has been slammed as sexist for reducing an experienced archaeologist to a 'bumbling, deferential, sidekick to her husband'.
The film depicts the unearthing of the famous Anglo-Saxon ship burial at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk and stars Ralph Fiennes as self-taught local archaeologist Basil Brown and Lily James as 27-year-old excavator Peggy Piggott.
Mrs Piggott was the wife of archaeologist Stuart Piggott - played by Ben Chaplin - who arrived at the Suffolk site with imperious academic Charles Phillips (Ken Stott).
During the dig at the burial mounds, Mrs Piggott - who was two years younger than her husband - unearthed with her trowel a small gold and garnet pyramid, the first exciting glimpse of bejewelled treasure.

Carey Mulligan is in a hole... but on a roll! BRIAN VINER reviews The Dig


Rating:
A little like the remarkable event it dramatises — the unearthing of the famous Anglo-Saxon ship burial at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk — The Dig yields treasure after treasure.
The acting glitters brightest, but Simon Stone's direction, Moira Buffini's screenplay and Mike Eley's cinematography are just as cherishable. It's a film of enormous, completely enveloping charm.
Moreover, it is especially welcome at a time when the rules of period drama, doubtless influenced by the success of The Favourite (2018), are being redrafted.
On TV, hits such as Bridgerton and The Great rely heavily on sex, glib anachronisms, flashy camera work, more sex, deliberately flamboyant acting, over-the-top design, and still more sex.

Movie reviews: 'The Little Things' is a dark mystery that keeps the viewer guessing


THE LITTLE THINGS: 3 STARS
"The Little Things," a Los Angeles-set crime drama now available in select theatres and on PVOD, features a trio of Oscar winners in a dark story that shows the soft underbelly of the glamour capitol.
Set in 1990, pre-DNA testing, this is a story of old-fashioned police work. Wits, stakeouts, payphones, and bleary eyes are their tools; obsession and black coffee fuel them.
Oscar winner number one Denzel Washington is Joe Deacon, a deputy sheriff in small town California, whose job as a big city detective is long in the rearview mirror. When he joins strait-laced LAPD detective Sgt. Jim Baxter (Oscar winner number two, Rami Malek) on the hunt for a serial murderer, they focus on Albert Sparma (Oscar winner number three, Jared Leto) an off-kilter character they suspect is the killer. Turns out, their case reverberates with echoes from Deacon’s troubled past.

TERMINALLY-ill widow Edith Pretty (Carey Mulligan) is convinced that treasures lie beneath the surface of the grassy burial mounds on her estate in Suffolk.
With the Second World War beckoning, she hires pipe-smoking archaeologist Basil Brown (Ralph Fiennes) to excavate the site.
"I've been on digs since I was old enough to hold a trowel," he confides warmly.

'The Dig' uncovers some dirt about the archaeology, but keeps it classy


CST_
Netflix presents a film directed by Simon Stone and written by Moira Buffini, based on the novel by John Preston. Rated PG-13 (for brief sensuality and partial nudity). Running time: 112 minutes. Opens Friday at Landmark Century Centre and on Netflix.
Based on a 2007 novel by John Preston that was inspired by the incredible true story of one of the most significant British archaeological finds ever, “The Dig” maintains a dignified and restrained approach, even when the material gets a little salacious in the form of not one but two “forbidden” romances. Melodramatic relationship developments aside, this is primarily about the well-off widow Edith Pretty (Mulligan) and the skilled but relatively unschooled excavator and amateur archaeologist Basil Brown (Ralph Fiennes), who in 1939 is hired by Edith to poke around the mounds of earth on the property of her house at Sutton Hoo. (Stories had been circulating for years about potential treasure buried beneath the land.)

Godalming, England — Entirely covered by earth, only his face visible, Ralph Fiennes lay patiently in the ground. Simon Stone, the director of the new Netflix drama,
The Dig, peered at a monitor, then nodded. “Let’s go,” he said. Fiennes shut his eyes, and a waiting crew poured soil over his head, burying him completely. Carey Mulligan dashed forward, panic-stricken, and began to frantically scrabble at the ground.
