Riassunto
Gentleman Jack is a British television series set in early 19th century Halifax, West Yorkshire. Based on true events, it dramatizes the life of Anne Lister, a voracious learner known for her cryptic diaries, which detail her lesbian relationships during a time when such intimacy was taboo and illegal. Directed by Amanda Brotchie, Edward Hall, Fergus O'Brien, Jennifer Perrott, Sally Wainwright, and Sarah Harding, this period drama offers a brisk and biting exploration of Lister's experiences as a woman pushing against societal norms in the north of England.
