The things are completely different because there are a lot of dramatic events in this series. The series begin when the best-selling British novelist Patrick Gale wanted to tell two gay love stories, 60 years apart - stories linked by family. It seems a painting that holds a secret that echoes down the generations in a long time. On the other hand, It seems that Flora finds her demons have come back to haunt her. That caused by her vet grandson, Adam, who struggle with his sexuality, tentatively forms a relationship with his client Steve, which turns the thing into another turn.
I was afraid the message of "Man in an Orange Shirt" would be simplistic... But the film, strewn with symbols that carry from one story to the other, has other things in mind, and they make it distinctly moving.
Man in an Orange Shirt, directed by Michael Samuels, neatly knits the cinematic and sweeping with the subtle and specific into a kind of naturalistic melodrama. It will fill you with feelings, if you let it.
"Man in an Orange Shirt" aspires to be a both a romantic tearjerker and a heartfelt family drama. It doesn't quite succeed on either point, but it has merit nonetheless.
I like my period dramas romantic, but slightly gritty. This looks like a picture perfect postcard of middle-class married life, but beneath the facade there is something much more complex at play.
Michael Samuels' Man In An Orange Shirt is a very watchable drama that explores both the thrill and, ultimately, the tragic impossibility of a homosexual relationship in 1940s Britain.
