a devastating adaptation
The haunted moods & perverse emotions of the novel have never been more fully realized. The powerful incestuous relationships of many of the characters, the insights on gender, race and class, and the power of obsession are in full realization. Can love transcend death, can stymied love turn to hatred?The score is haunting, and Ralph Fiennes is in top top form.
A soap opera, horror film, and gothic romance all in one. This film is sexy, creepy, sad, yearning, tragic, engrossing. You'll be a believer.
One of truest adaptations to the "spirits" of the original.
score 9/10
