It seems that Anne of Green Gables is like a Canadian Jane Austen novel: constantly subject to reinterpretation every few years with a new film or mini-series production. I won’t go into great detail about this version: it is fine, with a good cast and good dialogue, presumably drawn from the book since so much of it is familiar! This production does present a few of the usual scenes in slightly different ways. For example, when Anne delivers her exaggerated apology to busybody neighbor Rachel, we only see her gestures - we do not hear her words. It worked to differentiate the script from every other version. And well, of course the scenery is great. Why wouldn’t it be?
