This evening’s episode of
Front Row on
BBC Radio 4 reviewed The Golden Compass movie, and on the whole was very positive. The reviewers,
A.N Wilson and
Mark Lawson discussed a number of issues during the piece, including the reaction to the film by Christian groups in the United States, which they dismissed very much in the same manner Philip Pullman himself did in a
piece he wrote in the Sunday Times over the weekend. Amongst other things discussed were also the pronunciation of Lord Asriel’s name and the foundations of Iorek Brynison’s character (which were likened to a product of writer Joseph Conrad by reviewer A.N. Wilson). You can listen to the full programme
here. Alternatively, you can download the item regarding The Golden Compass movie
