Comments
Based on the true story of two jailed criminals who took up gardening as part of their rehabilitation, and eventually went on to compete at the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, the film ‘Greenfingers’ stars Clive Owen as a prisoner nearing the end of his sentence for the murder of his brother.
Transferred to Edgefield open prison in preparation for his release, his mind is opened to the wonders of horticulture by cellmate Fergus Wilks (David Kelly – best known as the Irish rogue builder O’Reilly in ‘Fawlty Towers’), who tends lovingly to his pot plant and peppers his speech with proverbs, advising Colin to, “make friends with your misfortunes or you’ll always be angry.”
It’s a much maligned film, and Owen’s performance attracted some criticism for excessive understatement, yet despite my undiluted indifference towards gardening – apart from occasions when I amuse my wife with a single minded focus on weeding – I just love the story. My God, the things one can admit to with a self build website!!
