Jo Wright must be seething! Talking of films, went to see 'Hope Springs' with Meryl Streep a few days ago. Quite good, I thought.

Not sure if it'll be my thing or not, and it sounds like it will demand commitment!<br /><br />Kiera's mouth: yes. No wonder when I think of it I see a cigarette plunging into it as in 'Atonement'.Goathttp://thegoatthatwrote.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-44973842306095750992012-09-19T11:16:52.436+01:002012-09-19T11:16:52.436+01:00It is on in our local cinema at the moment Robert ...It is on in our local cinema at the moment Robert and I have been toying with the idea of going to see it but I really don't like the idea of it being staged in this way - after reading your crit I think I might give it a miss.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-32328389777383657502012-09-19T10:12:48.876+01:002012-09-19T10:12:48.876+01:00Just what I had in mind!

Unlike many of my female peers, I actually rather like Keira Knightly, but I think she was miscast here - for starters I had always imagined Anna as a more, well, voluptuous figure. I was very impressed by Jude Law's Karenin, but the less said about Vronsky the better. I can understand why Levin's idealism would get short shrift in a film version, but, as ever, it does beg the question, why a film, when the book is so much richer. <br />Gail. <br />WFT Nobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315143664245246248noreply@blogger.com
