THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING

Directed by Peter Jackson

Justifying his dramatisation of Kenneth Grahame's immortal The Wind in the Willows, A.A. Milne explained that if one were going to have fingerprints on one's bread and butter, it were best that they be one's own. The completed three-film version of J.R.R. Tolkien's great trilogy provides us with the next best thing. Jackson's passion for the books shines through every interview, article and of course the films themselves.
