a leisurely and fascinating stroll , 29 November 2011
  • In Search Of The Trojan War
  • In Search Of The Trojan War (2 discs) on DVD (2004)
    Starring: Michael Wood
    Certificate: Certificate: Ex
    I got the first disc of this not knowing quite what to expect. I watched all three hours straight, and soon after bought the DVD for myself, along with the accompanying book! Michael Wood has great passion for the subject, but he never tries to stamp himself all over the production. The pacing is leisurely, allowing information to gently soak in, and time for independent thought of your own. Experts are allowed to speak and not cut up into tiny sound bites. Michael occasionally seems to fluff things by stumbling into an unscripted pause on live location, but along with the 1980s clothing and cars this just adds an extra charm in making the documentary seem rather archaic itself. 6 hours is a long time to devote to one subject, but there are so many angles; the obsession shared by those who sought the location of Troy, the archaeology of the sites, the accuracy of the Iliad, the life of Homer (if he existed). Information is sometimes revisited, but to gain a better understanding of a subject it is useful to look at it from many angles even if some of them share common details.
