Customer Reviews of Cadfael: The Virgin in the Ice
A very different Christmas Although the video doen't precisely follow the book, the visual presentation is a stunning feast for the eyes! The depiction of 12th century England in the depths of a pre-Christmas storm awes the viewer with the contrast between the beautifully stark, harsh
snow-covered countryside and the simple, life-saving, warmth of Shrewsbury's Benedictine monastary; it is an island of life in a white sea of death.
An excellent presentation of English drama: a great story done by great actors and filmed by a great cinema crew.
A must-have video for Christmas!
Between friends there is no owing.
This film is part of "Brother Cadfael Series 2 Box Set: The Devil's Novice, St. Peter's Fair and The Virgin in the Ice (1996) ASIN: 6303969631
Once again there is a mystery with many threads overlapping. Father Cadfael uses intuition and a great deal of forensics to sort out what really happened.
You guest it; Sister Hilaria is found in the ice and the last time she was seen was with Brother Oswain of who is delirious from an encounter with bandits. Two kids are missing and a mysterious woodsman (with a sward) is creeping around. Things only get more complicated. In the process of sorting this out Father Cadfael leaves words of wisdom as "There is no shame in tears when they are worth shedding."
The identity of the mysterious woodsman holds great significance.
A SON'S RETURN
Can you imagine Oswin caught up in the arms of a woman? Picture him kissing her softly then flying into a rage wherebye he rapes and kills her. To make matters worse, she is a nun and her body is found frozen in a pond just a mile away where she and Oswain were sleeping together. Sound incredulous? Poor Oswin confesses his vile sin when ravaged by fever. Cadfael has a challenging mystery to solve in clearing the name of a man whom he holds dear in his heart. Brother Oswin has always been like a son to Cadfael. Although he has broken numerous pots and stumbled and bumbled his way through Cadfael's hut, he still remained Cadfael's favorite among all the monks of Shrewsbury. Once again trouble hits the area of the monastery. Two children have been lost and their uncle, an enemy of King stephen, has dispatched an emissary to find and return them. Oswin gets involved by helping the nun and her two charges. Their separation during the storm brings upon more troubles than can be imagined.
You will love Derek Jacobi's performance in the best of Ellis Peter's tales of our wiley monk Cadfael. He must fight with Prior Robert and Brother Jerome as they immediately condemn Oswin for his vile "sins". As he ventures to clear Oswain's name he comes across this emissary who has a very special relationship to Cadfael in addition to being a Crusader. Reminise with Cadfael as he thinks of the woman and son he left behind in Jerusalem as a crusader. In this series, you will encounter another side of Cadfael never shown in previous tapes. I loved the action, suspense, tenderness and thrills of this movie. Give yourself a treat in watching two sons return home.
