Charles in the cast of Fanny Lye Deliver’d

                                           https://aboutactorcharlesdance.blogspot.com
Shooting has wrapped on Fanny Lye Deliver’d, a period drama starring Maxine Peake (The Theory of Everything), Charles Dance (Game of Thrones) and Freddie Fox (The Riot Club). The cast also includes Tanya Reynolds in her first feature film role and Peter McDonald (The Stag).

Shot over ten weeks on location in Shropshire, England, the film is written and directed by Thomas Clay and produced by Zorana Piggott.....
Set in 1657 on an isolated farm in Shropshire, the story follows Fanny Lye (Peake) as she learns to transcend her oppressive marriage and discovers a new world of possibility.
Living a life of puritan stricture with husband John Lye (Dance) and young son Arthur, Fanny Lye’s world is shaken by the unexpected arrival of two strangers in need - a young couple (Fox, Reynolds) closely pursued by a ruthless sheriff (McDonald) and his deputy.

Charles voiced the Ormeley Dinner Film

                                 http://aboutactorcharlesdance.blogspot.fr/
Every two years a very special dinner is held in central London, the Ormeley Dinner brings together the great and the good – and the financially committed to conservation – to raise funds for some of the world’s most innovative environmental and conservation organisations. The centre piece of the night is a scene setting video and then an auction, which can raise over £1m. Halo Films was asked to produce the film for 2015.
Working with such footage was a privilege and editor, Laurie Goodwin had the chance to craft a powerful film.  To increase the impact we had footage of Prince Charles to use and Charles Dance provided the commentary.

Bad reviews for Despite the falling snow

"...directed by Sharim Sharif and adapted by the director from her own 2004 novel. It features laborious acting and directing, and a screenplay whose revelations are uninteresting, even were they not guessable long in advance.
Whatever potential subtlety and complexity we are promised does not materialise — only hammy airport-bestseller histrionics, and the whole movie sometimes seems submerged in a kind of cold-tea sepia look, appropriate to its historical background. "
The Guardian
"...an old-fashioned, espionage-tinged romance that might be more at home on ITV3 than the big screen.
Empireonline
"... Sarif’s very mawkish and novelettish melodrama...For all its invocations of Russian history, this is a glorified telenovela at heart.
The Independant
".... It’s told in two distinct timelines, both of which mirror one another in a rather clunky manner. One is a rather shallow portrait of the ‘50s Cold War era – marred by dodgy CGI snow, obvious green-screen and unconvincing sets - while the ‘90s segment plays out at-best like a mediocre late afternoon TV drama.
The National
"....It’s all so brightly lit, and presented in an amateur way – with stilted dialogue, and such clumsy staging. The poor supporting cast do not help matters, turning would could be a great film, into a pastiche of an 80s soap opera – and let’s face it, nobody wants that
Heyuguy
"... And yet, and yet. It just doesn’t work. Dance is typically great and so is Ferguson, but they’re surrounded by cringe-worthy performances.

Thetimes.uk
"... And clocking in at a lean 93 minutes, there’s simply not enough time for ‘Despite the Falling Snow’ to become the poignant love story it wants to be.
Time Out
 
"...As much of a misfire as Criminal is, it’s preferable to Despite the Falling Snow (*), a dreary, incompetently plotted and flatly directed
