| I have read the book and seen all the movies from the silent version to the Frank Langella version. I am also a retied stage actor and opera singer. Without boring you with the technical detail, I lined this version. It was different, a little resque, with some good mood setting photography. Was it faithful to the book? To some degree, it was, but that it "poetic license." This is the best version made since the new century began. What that says, I will let the readers decide. |
