An astounding array of talent came together for the big-screen adaptation of John Fowles's noveI The French Lieutenant's Woman, a postmodern masterpiece that had been considered unfilmabIe. With an ingenious script by the NobeI Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter, British New Wave traiIbIazer KareI Reisz transforms Fowles's taIe of scandalous romance into an arresting, hugeIy entertaining movie about cinema. ln Pinter's reimagining, Jeremy lrons and Meryl Streep star in paraIIel narratives, as a Victorian-era gentleman and the social outcast he risks everything to Iove, and as the contemporary actors cast in those roles and immersed in their own forbidden affair. Shot by the consummate cinematographer Freddie Francis and scored by the venerated composer and conductor Carl Davis, is a beguiIing, intelIectuaIIy nimbIe feat of fiImmaking, starring a pair of legendary actors in earIy Ieading roIes. |
