Ken Russell's Times Review: The Lost World - October 30, 2009
The Times: 'Hooked on a history of rod and line'
A spectacular new fishing documentary casts its spell : written by
Ken Russell
"The Lost World of Mr Hardy tells an evocative story of quality and ethically based manufacturing through interviews, archive footage and a gorgeous musical score of violin and cello by Stephen Daltry — breathtaking in its simplicity, beauty and effectiveness. It perfectly amplifies a tale about delicacy, nature and the bittersweet hope that such things might survive in our brave new world."
Andy Heathcote and Heike Bachelier's feature documentary about the great Hardy fishing tackle firm is on DVD in the U.S. and UK, and on Amazon. There are a series of screenings in towns around the UK - check them out at www.trufflepigfilms.co.uk
