The oncoming storm
Writer Tony Jordan has gone to a back to basics re-telling of the story of Noah. Less of the actual floods and the animals going two by two. After all this is a BBC television movie and the budget was never going to be mega unless Russell Crowe had signed on.David Threlfall plays Noah and Joanne Whalley plays his loyal wife with their three grown up sons living a hard working life in the desert (it was filmed in Morocco.) Noah is committed to God but a visit to the local market town with his son shows him a life there without belief where violence, faithlessness and cheating is close at hand.
This version has the family in the centre of the drama as well as faith. When Noah gets a visit from God’s messenger, family loyalties are put to the test as he goes about building an ark first by himself, then helped by his wife before the rest of the family pitch in which is made to look like hard even bad breaking work.
The film tries to be a modern small scale parable with its comparison to a world of science and bankers although I think it does not entirely carry it off as it comes too close to be rather preachy. The film also disappoints as it strips maybe too much of the familiar traits of the tale such as the animals going to the ark as well as the flooding.
Threlfall is a stern but kind hearted Noah who puts his love of the family first and he does well to be the centre of the film although I guess some viewers would find the northern accents rather off putting and accuse it of being a Shameless in the Desert which is rather unfair.
Can’t see the Wood for the Ark ?
The biggest miracle in this Bible story is…… just WHERE did Noah get all that wood…. Gopher, or otherwise???This version is set in a vast desert wilderness – not a sign of a tree for miles and miles; and yet, we see old Noah gallantly struggling home with just one branch. Regardless of where he got it from, it would take him a couple of days just to get that one branch back, let alone the very LARGE pieces we later see he’s managed to install. At this rate, I reckon it would have taken him about 20 years to float his boat. Later on, the kids relent and start to help a bit but ????
The cast are excellent but, sadly, the writing and the planning of this one let them down badly.
If you want a traditional Noah’s Ark story, stick to 1966’s “The Bible….in the Begining.”. There you will find John Huston doing a fine DIY job, complete with animals going in, two by two, torrential rain and a proper flood….. not to mention a cracking score by Toshiro. Mayuzumi.
