Pleasantville

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Fantasy comedy drama, laced with subtle special effects, starring Tobey Maguire and Reese Witherspoon. Afight over the TV remote control sees teen siblings David and Jennifer transported to the black-and-white setting of 1950s soap opera Pleasantville, where their modern sensibilities begin to have a strange effect on the show's other characters. Review page 47.
Director Gary Ross (1998, 12) (Colour and BW) (AD) Rim Highlights: page 42
