Well some of us appreciate him.
I just discovered this, so the news is late 🙁 but A Month in the Country is the Audience Choice on the subject of Rural Life at the BFI Southbank cinema. It will air July 17 at 8:30pm. More information here. I completely agree with the audience. It is a wonderful film and Patrick Malahide gives a poignant performance as the very complicated Rev. J. G. Keach, a man who seems to crave solitude while also wishing to be a spiritual guide for a community that apparently just wants him around for weddings and funerals.
For years it has been a somewhat under-rated film, but it has received significant interest as of late with this screening (due to audience appreciation no less) and some recent Blu-Ray releases. I’m sorry to only find out about this now, but I still thought it was worth mentioning.
