In Reply to: The Captive: Proves obsession is contagious posted by mr grits on September 11, 2005 at 20:44:22:
I have not seen The Captive, but since you are in the mood for something slow and gut-wrenching, consider The Hunger (Sult) based on Knut Hamsun novel... films like that give one the sense of insightful character studies... heck, I thought I would never use that term...
Follow Ups:
After giving up on "The Glass Bead Game" decades ago I have eschewed heavy lit.The Captive's fault may lie in casting. They were all light weight, mono-dimensional--nearly vapid. I felt no pain nor learned anymore about human nature.
If this is the best adaptation of Proust I won't be seeing anymore. Color me boor.
Try "Remembrance of Things Past's 'Swann in Love'", or any of Balzac, Gide, or Stendhal (if you aren't enthralled by his "The Red and the Black"... you're hopeless ;--()).
If you're in the mood for some "modern" French lit and you want a fast read, try "The Stranger," by Camus.
Don't give up on haute cuisine because a chef fucked up on one dish.
This one was real slow too.....
