.ddiannashen sat down with writer and director Hugo Blick to talk about modernizing the Western genre in his new Prime Video series TheEnglish:
is an epic chase Western with the theme of revenge seated at its core. The six-episode series stars Emily Blunt as the aristocratic Lady Cornelia Locke, an Englishwoman set on tracking down the man she believes to have killed her child, and Chaske Spencer as Eli Whipp, a Pawnee ex-cavalry scout seeking to claim land that has been promised to him following his service.
I think the reason they’re successful is because they’re elevated. They’re operatic. Jimmy Stewart said that the Western is the purest form of cinema. I think he meant that because it’s about one man in the landscape. And the bigger the landscape, the greater the pressure upon the man. I took to that. I think that’s absolutely right. These are big, operatic myth themes.
