At the time of pre-filming I was working at The Leeds Centre for Deaf People and we were visored by Franc Roddam and Geraldine James as part of their research. Recall being v impressed by the film and would love to see again. Does anyone have ideas about how to go about it?
As an avid Dickens reader, and watcher of both film, and TV adaptations going back almost 60 years, I have a strong familiarity with, and affinity for, his works.
I am aware that opinions vary and taste is very much an individual thing. Leaving the cinema today, a couple I spoke to were of mixed opinions and felt it was too long. They liked "1917", I did not - opinion is very personal.
I loved it, found it extremely funny at points and got the essence of the book in a most accessible way.
I must also admit to loving "Dickensian", and " A Christmas Carol" more recently and this felt to be very much in the same vein.
More like this please.
