Bleak House (2005) starring Gillian Anderson ("The X Files"), the only cast member likely to be familiar to Americans. There are, however, a number of good performances in this BBC production of the book by Charles Dickens. Furthermore, the actors portray engaging characters, some admirable, some villainous, some comic. Viewing "Bleak House" is no small undertaking, as it takes up eight hours on three discs. I had to stretch it out and watch it over a period of two or three weeks, but I found it to be a rich and rewarding experience.
Grade: B+
