GirlHacker's Random Log

almost daily since 1999

 

Considering that Merchant & Ivory’s production of “A Room with a View” is my favorite movie, I took it incredibly well when I read about PBS’ Masterpiece new version of the E.M. Forster novel. Since ultimately it is the book that is the heart of the film, I’m open to this new “Room” that debuted last night, much as I’d welcome a fresh production of a classic play. This version is not reimagined in a different era or departures of characterization, but it is wrapped within a flashback that provides an ending twist that several critics have called out as alarming to purists. Of course it’s unlikely that my favorite movie will be replaced anyway.
