General InterestTom's Midnight Garden [2000]Based on the classic English children's book about a young boy's journey across the boundaries of reality. Quarantined away from his sick brother, Tom is sent to live with his aunt and uncle in their small, gardenless apartment. With nothing to do and no friends, Tom spends his days bored and lonley, until a grandfather clock in the hallway mysteriously strikes thirteen and a grim back alleyway transforms into an enchanting phantom garden. From . Tom's Midnight Garden is a charming adaptation of Philippa Pearce's children's story. It's the 1950s, and young Tom Long (Anthony Way) is sent to stay at the house of an Aunt (Greta Scacchi) and Uncle (James Wilby) while his brother is poorly. All seems drearily disciplined until the downstairs grandfather clock strikes 13, and Tom discovers a secret garden of enormous size. There he meets a girl named Hatty (Florence Hoath), who seems to be both a part of and the answer to the magical mystery. Through the changing seasons the garden ages, and so does Hatty. Eventually all is revealed: the importance of a tree struck by lightning, the reclusive landlady in the attic (Joan Plowright), and the present-day setting of the film's opening with a grown-up Tom watching the house being torn down. Some amusing computer trickery allows for the redecoration of the house each time Tom travels in time, and also allows him to pass through solid objects in supernatural fashion. All of which makes the movie a visual feast for children. Although adults will think it rather stiffly directed, the poignant tale about what happens to memories and friendships as we grow old shines through, helped immensely by composer Debbie Wiseman's luminous music score. -- Paul Tonks From the Back Cover 14 year old Tom Long is reluctantly spending the summer in the country with his rather staid Aunt Gwen and Uncle Alan. They live in a drab old place, which - decades ago - was a grand manor house. But when the grandfather clock strikes midnight adventures begin for Tom. One night, he makes his way downstairs, but the clock reveals nothing except a mysterious phrase inscribed on its pendulum: "Time no Longer". Tom then opens the back door and finds that a wonderful garden has appeared - a wonderful place which will become an enchanted garden.Shipping Shipping is free for all customers in Australia.
