Description

Avec son nez refait, ses jambes interminables, ses airs de princesse sexy, son job dans la presse de caniveau, ses aspirations à la célébrité et sa facilité à briser les cours, Tamara Drewe est l'Amazone urbaine du XXIe siècle. Son retour à la campagne, dans le village où a vécu sa mère, est un choc pour la petite communauté qui y prospère en paix. Hommes et femmes, bobos et ruraux, auteur à gros tirage, universitaire frustré, rock star au rancart, fils du pays, teenagers locales gavées de people, tous et toutes sont attirés par Tamara, dont la beauté pyromane, les liaisons dangereuses et les divagations amoureuses éveillent d'obscures passions et provoquent un enchaînement de circonstances aboutissant à une tragédie à la Posy Simmonds, c'est-à-dire à la fois poignante et absurde. Librement inspiré du roman de Thomas Hardy Loin de la foule déchaînée, un portrait à charge délicieusement cruel et ironique de l'Angleterre d'aujourd'hui.
