When the dreary English weather of 1935 gets to be too much for the eccentric Durrell family, they set off for the rustic, sun-drenched Greek island of Corfu, and the unknown. The lively clan is headed by Mrs. Durrell, a middle-aged widow who gives in to the whims of her children and who patiently tolerates their adventures. Her eldest son Larry, a budding avant-garde writer with wild friends, has no regard for his mother, while her second son, Leslie, is a gun-obsessed sportsman who shoots at everything in sight. Her only daughter, Margot, is a teen beauty who changes boyfriends as quickly as she does bathing suits. But her youngest son, 12-year-old Gerald, is the heart and soul of this lively saga. Filling his family’s villa with an impressive menagerie of animals and insects, Gerald discovers his life’s vocation in nature and animals, as well as his own voice as an author.

So far the best film by British director Folkson, which arises from an excellent and famous literary source, providing an infinite amount of humorous situations and lines. The lower budget and more TV-like dimension can be seen in the film, but the actors are well chosen and Imelda Staunton excels in the role of a kind and somewhat helpless British mother from an educational perspective. Truth be told, I would like to be born into the financial circumstances of the British middle class and enjoy at least some of the adventures of the film heroes in a pleasant Greek Mediterranean environment. Overall impression: 75%.
