Description

Seen on PBS

Written By: Teleplay writer Herbert Hartig, based on Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic

Starring:Kathleen Beller, Kristoffer Tabori

Directed By:Dezso Magyar

Description:Set in 18th Century Italy, RAPPACCINI'S DAUGHTER is the tale of a young scholar named Giovanni (Kristoffer Tabori) who falls in love with a beautiful, yet forbidden, girl who tends her father's poison garden.

However, the strange and unearthly beauty of Beatrice (Kathleen Beller) masks a terrifying curse which Giovanni must tragically discover. Her father, the mysterious Dr. Rappaccini, has made her the subject of a diabolical experiment. In Giovanni's attempt to free Beatrice from the control of her father and to escape the poisonous effect she begins to have on him, he unwittingly destroys her.

From the short story of master American novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne, two quintessential Hawthorne themes are explored: the sins of interfering with another's soul and the futility of trying to tamper with nature.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Never A Flower So Lovely.......2005-05-26

From a rented apartment overlooking an enchanting botanical garden young Giovanni (Kristoffer Tabori) observes a beautiful girl (Kathleen Beller) walking alone talking to the flowers. There is a reason why she is alone but by the time he learns the dark secret for her isolation he has fallen in love.

This 57 minute PBS Presentation was quite a pleasant surprise. Some may find it a little slow, but I found it absolutely hypnotic. Like a prolonged dream sequence, you are drawn against your will towards the enigmatic Beatrice. I've been an admirer of Kathleen Beller for quite sometime and I must say they couldn't have found a more beautiful woman for this role. She has never looked lovelier than she does here.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing Hawthorne.......2005-03-26

I saw this on PBS and discovered that Hawthorne was much more than the guy who wrote 'The Scarlet Letter'. That book, my high school sensibilities found too heavy but this story had just the right touch of horror and pathos. Also a story about manipulating nature, before Shelley wrote Frankenstein, amazing.
