| While I haven't watched this filmed version, I did see it live two years ago. It was stunning, an evening of beautifully written words and the exquisite performance of them. Maybe it doesn't translate, and that would be very disappointing, but in person it was a delight from start to finish. The use of Dickens' prose, which of course is not used in film adaptations as they are dialogue driven, added to the unexpected depth of the evening. |
