an education, written by lynn barber (screenplay by nick hornby), & directed by lone scherfig
sometimes (ok maybe even most times) turning a book into a movie is an utter disappointment, yet in the cases of these very different movies, i thought they were just stunning & pure amazing films! at the moment i'm reading the secret lives of pippa lee by rebecca miller, i'm crossing my fingers on how it will turn out on fim...
I watched a feature on the making of Fantastic Mr Fox, and Wes Anderson stayed at the house where Roald Dahl lived - and his widow lives now, while writing the screenplay. He modeled a lot of the set after pieces that were actually in the house. It was pretty amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the road, I like the book very much and Viggo Mortensen is one of my favourit artists.
ReplyDeleteI really liked both the book and film version of What's Eating Gilbert Grape. both are favourites!
ReplyDeleteread some internet gossip somewhere that viggo may "retire" from acting! oh nooooo
