Viewers of the off-beat comedy drama starring Elle Fanning, Nicholas Hoult, and Pheobe Fox, The Great, will have much to cheer as the tales of Russian Court life under the rule of Catherine II finds its final series to be one of absolute integrity to the alter of satire and invective wit.

The problem with having a year off is that it takes time for the mojo to get going again, the momentum of life is such that if you sit still long enough either you fade into obscurity or you show creaking signs of the love you have no longer being a fluid and marvellous thing.

There are those that say that the great American epic is dead. That the days of the great American cinematic nature/love/natural landscape story is as over, torn apart by the digitisation and CGI effects on offer to the 21st Century audiences. It is hard to disagree with that assertion, no matter how much grief and pain it may cause when viewed from the darkness of a cinema screening of Serena.
