Synopsis

The Dig is a historical novel written by John Preston. The story is set in 1939 in Suffolk, England, and follows the excavation of an ancient burial site on the estate of Edith Pretty.

As the dig progresses, archaeologist Basil Brown uncovers a treasure trove of artifacts, including a ship burial believed to be from the Dark Ages. The discovery attracts the attention of the British Museum, who send a team of experts to assist with the excavation.

However, tensions arise between Basil Brown and the museum team, as they clash over the direction of the dig and who should receive credit for the find. Meanwhile, Edith Pretty grapples with her own personal demons as she reflects on her mortality.

The Dig explores themes of legacy, mortality, and the power of archaeology to uncover the past. It is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that delves into the complexities of human relationships and the enduring impact of history on the present.

Robert Martin
1/10

The repetitive use of certain musical motifs throughout the soundtrack became tedious and predictable, detracting from the overall viewing experience of the film. I wished for more variety and complexity in the musical composition to better reflect the complexity of the characters' emotions and the unfolding drama of the excavation.
