A C.S. Lewis Dramatization

A DVD which dramatizes the the life of 20th Century Christian apologetic C. S. Lewis. The narrator speaks in the first person as if we were sitting in the subject's office and study at Oxford listening to him capsulize his life just prior to his death in 1963. The DVD was filmed on location (including Oxford and London) and uses several actors and actresses to present key events in Lewis's life including childhood, schooling, war experiences, fellowship, conversion and life with Joy and late period after her death. It was a good representation and the location shots were rich. Due to the limited time of a single DVD, some events are compressed, but, all in in, very well done. Any Lewis fan should enjoy this delightful and sometime poignant review of the inventor of Narnia.
One warning: it is not, as the title may vaguely imply, a discussion of the stories in the Chronicles of Narnia, though Lewis's writing of that series is covered. Those very familiar with the Chronicles will find many little experiences and memories of his life that influenced several parts of the stories.
