Netflix s The Dig review: An archaeology drama with impeccable acting

BASIL BROWN, played in The Dig by Ralph Fiennes, was the principal archaeologist behind the 1939 excavation of Sutton Hoo in Suffolk, England. It is now considered one of the most important finds in Britain, the majesty of its 27-metre burial ship and 7th-century Anglo-Saxon treasures reframing historians’ view of the so-called Dark Ages. However, it was very nearly missed – and Brown wasn’t always acknowledged for his efforts. He was a self-educated archaeologist and astronomer, who spent much of his income as a tenant farmer and insurance agent on that education. Being an independent scholar without an academic post was an irregularity that led to the omission of his name at the British Museum’s display of the Sutton Hoo treasures for decades.

Screen time: The Dig leaves some details buried

Screen time: The Dig leaves some details buried By Jim Keogh Basil Brown is how I envision a proper British archaeologist. He shovels dirt all day wearing tweed. His face is dirty, but not filthy. He is spectacularly articulate about the treasures that lie below the earth’s surface, but mute about the secrets hidden within his own heart. He rides a bike … everywhere. He’s also the perfect man for the job of excavating a massive mound of soil and grass at Sutton Hoo, one of about a dozen dotting the countryside estate owned by Edith Pretty, a widow and single mother. Edith urges Basil to work quickly, since time is the enemy. It’s 1939 and storm clouds are gathering over Great Britain. Soon, all resources and manpower will be employed in the battle against Germany.

The Dig movie review: Ralph Feinnes shines in beautifully meditative period drama

Ralph Fiennes in ‘The Dig’   A lovely movie about a shining thread of humanity binding the past, present and future, this drama is worth every moment you spend with it Ralph Feinnes in a World War II drama? You had me at Ralph Feinnes, never mind his nose-less avatar as the Dark Lord or his stuffy three-piece suit version of M. His haunted eyes as Count Laszlo de Almásy in The English Patient (1996), talking of the hollow of Katherine’s (Kristin Scott Thomas) neck, are seared into our consciousness.
