Title
A Warning to the Curious on DVD
Description
A Warning to the Curious is arguably M R James’s last great ghost story. Published in 1925, it draws on the author’s own experience of holidaying in Aldeburgh, and seems at the same to time to be a response to the traumas of the first World War. Robert Lloyd Parry here performs the story in a single take, by the light of a single candle, and in an accompanying documentary looks at the cultural and historical influences on the tale.
The English seaside has never looked so menacing.
Bonus Features:
“Dim Presences.” A 1hr documentary looking at the cultural and historical influences behind James’s masterpiece.
A reading of M R James’s July 1916 speech to The Cambridge Tipperary Club.
Songs by Patricia Hammond.
