Oh, the twisty-turny mystery which is In My Father’s Den! One problem: although the Kiwi protagonist (played by British actor Matthew Macfadyen) had been “poncing around in England” for many years, and could therefore be [mostly] understood, he was the only one! Who knew that the New Zealand accent could be so unfathomable? Of course we all got through the movie, and enjoyed the lush camera work… I think the general consensus was that, without subtitles (non available), we had managed to take in about seventy percent of the movie’s complexly woven story. I guess this is why In My Father’s Den has never seen a DVD release in this country. Surely it can’t cost that much to put subtitles on a new release…

Still… how about those Cosmos? That’s what I’m talking about.
