In the series A ghost story for Christmas in which this director/scriptwriter delivers short television films with a slightly creepy approach. This episode, based on a story by MR James from around 1911, looks beautiful again, in keeping with the long English tradition of "period pieces" with good acting, subtle direction and a tension that is more civilized-creepy than jump-scary. No one will be able to sleep at night because of this, but anyone who is sensitive to this will be left with a nice "frisson". (The title refers to a section of the Jewish Talmud.)
