My Family and Other Animals

One of literature's most charming, eccentric and amusing childhood memoirs comes to life in an adaptation of Gerald Durrell's My Family and Other Animals, chronicling Durrell's five-year sojourn on the Greek island of Corfu with his family before World War II. Young Gerald (Eugene Simon, Casanova), a budding zoologist, is joined by brothers Leslie (Russell Tovey, "Poirot"), a firearms enthusiast, and Larry (Matthew Goode, Match Point), a writer destined for fame as Lawrence Durrell, along with boy-crazed sister Margo (Tamzin Merchant, Pride & Prejudice) and their mother (Imelda Staunton, Vera Drake), easily the sanest of the bunch. Surrounded by ample wildlife and histrionic locals, they enjoy a sun-drenched, chaotic idyll.
