Normally the words ‘graphic novel’ bring to mind images of sci-fi and thriller plots, but Tamara Drewe is something rather different, a graphic novel aimed largely at women, which is essentially a modern day update of Thomas Hardy’s Far From The Madding Crowd, in which sexy flirt Drewe (Gemma Arteron) returns to her small country village after completely transforming herself through plastic surgery and a new look. She stirs up dark passions amongst the locals, which leads to tragedy. Now the first official UK trailer for Stephen Frear’s movie version has been released. Tamara Drewe is scheduled for release in the UK on September 10th. Click below for the trailer.
