Which book that has been brought to screen do you consider very well done?
The book that was a classical (and difficult) adaptation to the screen, The French Lieutenant Woman, by John Fowles (the movie has Meryl Steep and Jeremy Irons as stars)

“….this heart, no, no it wasn’t, I know,
it wasn’t born to be loved for long,
yet..something inside it shivered,
this fire..inside, deep down,
too wild, too unknown, too…untamed.”
Hi everyone
I agree with Carmen 3arisa about Tess by Roman Polanski a very beautiful film, taken from a fantastic book. My offering is a black and white British film, The lonliness of the Long Distance Runner from a short story by Alan Sillitoe,
very well done.
love sue
Mollena,
There are actually two endings..
and one is different from the other.
love
Agnieszka
I don’t remember having seen the movie “The French Lieutenant’s Woman” but I simply loved the book by John Fowles when I read it in college! And “Tess of the D’Urbervilles” by Thomas Hardy, a great book, too! It seems that we share the same taste, dear Agnieszka! :-)
In general, I love movies but only few of them can make you really feel what books manage to transmit so effortless… I wish there were a movie which can transmit the feelings like a book and a book which can show you the images like a movie, all in all a mixture with what is best from both of them, an “alive” book! :-)
May God bless the whole world with kindness and exuberance, for all of us to enjoy a fresh start, the revival of nature during spring time to become the revival of our hearts and minds too! :-)
Lots of love,
Carmen Larisa
There’s another great movie based on the book: “Tess of the d’Urbervilles” – filmed by Roman Polanski,
with Nastasia Kinski.
I loved it too.
love

I haven’t seen the screen version. However, the blook plot is intising. Which ending was it in the movie?
I have this book, so…intriguing..
so…sensual..,
and the movie…too.
Well done, yes.
