In Reply to: name a movie that was better than the book posted by TA on October 26, 2004 at 17:19:43:
Huston made Joyce´s small jewel ( a short story from a book dedicated to Dubliners ) into one of the best films in whole history. That was his testament, and his gift to us all.And "The South" follows the same pattern..., only that the original story was not so good: Erice made an outstandingly poetical, deeply human film, which is year-lights ahead of the story it´s based on.
Another one which now comes to my mind is Welles´s "The Immortal Story", based on one of Dinesen´s tales: another gem, which is even better than the excellent original one.
And now, while writing this, I realize that all three have Death as their gravity center...
