THE 30 YEAR MILESTONE OF ‘COLD COMFORT FARM’
Today brings with it another milestone anniversary, and this time it’s for the underrated Cold Comfort Farm 30 years later. Because this film is so little talked of, I decided to celebrate it with a little write up of three things I love about this film.

THE 30 YEAR MILESTONE OF ‘COLD COMFORT FARM.’ Looking back at the quirky #ColdComfortFarm with #KateBeckinsale. #Movies #Comedy #PeriodDrama Share on XThis is one of those stories that doesn’t feel dissimilar to Jane Austen’s Emma, a character that Kate Beckinsale, who leads this cast, also played. In this, she is Flora, a woman who flits between relatives and is always on the lookout for her next “project.” The story has a great cast outside of Beckinsale, which is one of the heading points and reasons why I love this title. Let’s see what other reasons we can find to love this one!
THE MILESTONE ANNIVERSARY of COLD COMFORT FARM 30 years later
THE BALL
This one is set mostly in the country, but not a grand estate, and instead takes place in a small cottage. As a result, the one ball we get to attend is quite pretty. It adds a bit of contrast, and we get to see a bit of finery too. It’s all very pretty.
THE DELICIOUS CAST
The cast of this film is really very good and I quite enjoy it. The cast isn’t just well known and talented, but they also help make this film all the more memorable. Rufus Sewell, Eileen Atkins, and Joanna Lumley join Kate and all of them are fabulous.
THE HUMOR
This one has a great sense of humor that is, overall, quite funny. The cast is a big reason for this, and while based on a novel, I haven’t read it. Still, whether faithful or more adventurous compared to the novel, the funny keeps us laughing and I very much enjoy this element of the film.
