“Top of the Lake” on Sundance Channel Mon. April 8 at 10:00 pm

This 6-hour movie Robin and I enjoyed at Sundance Film Festival is being shown as a series of 1-hour segments on the Sundance Channel on Monday evenings at 10:00 p.m.  starting on Monday, April 8.   We loved it and recommend it.  For more information

Directed by Jane Campian and Garth Davis.  Cast: Elizabeth Moss, who plays Peggy Olson on Mad Men (sixth season premieres tonight on AMC), plays the part of  Detective Robin Griffin.  Other cast members are:  Holly Hunter, Peter Mullen and David Wenham.

The Sundance program description is: “A 12-year-old girl stands chest-deep in a frozen lake.  She is 5-months pregnant, and won’t say who the father is.  Then she disappears.  So begins a haunting mystery that consumes a community.”

In the Parade magazine today Walter Scott asks Elizabeth, “What drew you to ‘Top of the Lake’?” Her reply: “I read the first few scripts and was blown away by the uniqueness of the story.  Another big draw was how different it was from Peggy, which would be a challenge.”

For Elizabeth Moss fans, here is an opportunity to see her play two distinct roles.  I never saw her in Mad Men but she was great as Detective Robin Griffin and I intend to watch her again.  Hope you do too.
