The original trailer for the 1974 theatrical release of Peter Hall's adaptation of Ronald Blythe's Akenfield, available on Dual-Format Edition Blu-ray and DVD from 25 July. For more information visit: http://shop.bfi.org.uk/akenfield-dual-edition.html?___SID=U#.V17Fr-TGODk Loosely based on Ronald Blythe's acclaimed book Akenfield: Portrait of an English Village, this unassuming yet powerful film traces three generations of one Suffolk family and their lives in the farming industry. Described as a work of rural realism, and shot in sumptuous widescreen, Akenfield features a cast of non-professional actors drawn from the communities of several Suffolk villages. Featuring improvised dialogue and shot mostly as weekends over the course of a year, the film offers an authentic depiction of country life over the changing seasons. With all three generations grandfather, father and son performed by the same actor (local farmer Garrow Shand), the film paints a compelling picture of a traditional way of life facing a period of great change, brought about by the industrialisation of the twentieth century.
