^ Nice! Any advice on where to see it?
37 Days (2014)

Three-part BBC Two series dramatizing the 1914 efforts, particular those of British Foreign Secretary Edward Gray (Ian McDiarmid), to prevent inevitable payback for the assassination of a certain Austro-Hungarian archduke from snowballing into a Continental conflagration. Great perfs by McDiarmid and Nicholas Asbury as First Lord of the Admiralty Churchill. (Fans of aging men entering and exiting offices, your ship has come in.) The German Kaiser wants a small war; his army chief wants a bigger one, and Russia's Tsar would perhaps like something in between. My only real complaint is a few matte paintings of all these capitals would have been nice, as establishing shots consisting exclusively of modern photography of their most iconic monuments give the transitions a boxed-in feel that doesn't match the vividness of the dialogue and acting on hand. Available for US DVD purchase on Amazon.
