Passing

Nella Larsen

brilliant adaptation of Nella Larsen's 1929 novel "Passing" by first-time filmmaker Rebecca Hall. utterly riveting & disquieting film set in Harlem in the 1920's in dreamlike black-and-white photography evocative of another era. each scene is beautifully shot & acting superb.

The Awakening

Kate Chopin

how original it would have been if Kate Chopin had not acquiesced to the male/puritan/ punitive prerogative that an adulterous woman must die in "The Awakening." (not that it saved her from public censure & "cancellation.")

Dubliners

James Joyce
Joyce Carol OatesJoyce Carol Oates

each chapter is linked, but distinct. the first is just a couple of young Irish men experiencing a slight strain in their friendship, ending with Stephen walking off irked. it's based upon James Joyce & a friend, Joyce's pride injured, mildly. could be a story in "Dubliners." https://t.co/YouYnmosDe

Book Cover for: And Then There Were None, Agatha Christie

And Then There Were None

Agatha Christie
Joyce Carol OatesJoyce Carol Oates

Is the 1945 film "And Then There Were None" a faithful remake of the Agatha Christie novel? the film is very well executed & makes of the preposterous plot a brisk comedy of the absurd in which individuals die but their corpses don't decompose or cause much discomfort.
