Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles was published in 1891. Mediocre film adaptations of the novel were made in 1913 and 1924, before Roman Polanski’s Tess was released in 1979 to critical acclaim. Oxford based singer songwriter Tamara Parsons-Baker recorded her own take on the rural tragedy in 2012, and that same year, I edited Polanski’s footage to Tamara’s song. Some might go so far as to say the following music video was 120 years in the making. Others might say it took a little over two weeks.
