CRITICS’ CHOICE
KATE WINSLET (pictured)
tells us about her humble
upbringing and how little she
knows of her family history.
On her dad’s side, it’s ‘lots of
pubs, lots of booze,
lots of actors’,
while of her mum
— who died
nearly two
years ago
— she
knows
even less, only ‘rumours of
some Scandinavian thing’.
The latter snippet leads her
to 1830s Sweden and grim
tales of starvation and
theft that are worthy of
Les Miserables. The whole
journey prompts many an
emotional explosion from
the Oscar-winning actress,
and the immortal line: ‘I
didn’t know you could
slaughter bees.’

opened up, like
in the movies’),
and this film
asks if it could
have been
prevented.
