Скачать или смотреть Finding George Orwell's voice – actor Ronald Pickup talks about playing the author on Jura

Showered with praise and award nominations, The Crystal Spirit: Orwell on Jura is arguably the best of the George Orwell biopics. Written by Alan Plater and shot on location in the Hebrides, off the west coast of Scotland, this 1983 BBC drama focuses on the summers of 1946-48, when the author retreated to a remote farmhouse to write 1984. Having toyed with the idea of casting John Cleese as Orwell, the producer and director chose Ronald Pickup, whose outstanding performance earned him a Bafta nomination for best actor. David Ryan, author of George Orwell on Screen, interviewed him on camera in London while researching the book in 2016.
