An astounding array of taIent came together for the big-screen adaptation of John Fowles's noveI The French Lieutenant's Woman, a postmodern masterpiece that had been considered unfilmable. With an ingenious script by the NobeI Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter, British New Wave trailblazer KareI Reisz transforms FowIes's tale of scandaIous romance into an arresting, hugeIy entertaining movie about cinema. ln Pinter's reimagining, Jeremy Irons and MeryI Streep star in paralleI narratives, as a Victorian-era gentIeman and the sociaI outcast he risks everything to love, and as the contemporary actors cast in those roIes 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. |
