Ep. 243: The Secret Garden (1993)

This week, Morgan and Gavia revisit childhood favorite The Secret Garden (1993), directed by Agnieszka Holland and adapted from the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Topics include the film's refreshingly dark take on its gothic source text, its treatment of Victorian class and imperial politics, Richard Deakins' lustrous cinematography, and much more.
