CANCELLED: From Print to Pictures, the Art of Film Adaptation: More Turning Points

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic In six films and the texts from which they are adapted, we will examine critical choices that determine lives. Our award-winning films will be: David Mamet directs Terrence Rattigan's suspenseful British drama, The Winslow Boy, about a youth expelled from school whose father challenges the case;  Bjorn Runge's film of Meg Wolitzer's novel The Wife, in which an apprehensive Glenn Close accompanies her wayward husband, Jonathan Pryce, on a trip to Stockholm to accept the Nobel Prize; Elaine May's The Heartbreak Kid, an adaptation of Bruce Friedman's bittersweet story, stars Charles Grodin and Cybill Shepherd in a collapsing marriage; Karel Reitz's film of John Fowles' The French Lieutenant's Woman features Meryl Streep as a mysterious Victorian woman who lures aristocrat Jeremy Irons into a forbidden liaison; Mike Nichols’ Postcards from the Edge is a take on Carrie Fisher's novel of a fraught mother-daughter show business relationship, with Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine; Scott Cooper’s Crazy Heart, from Thomas Cobb's novel, features Jeff Bridges in an Academy-Award performance as an aging country singer who makes a comeback. Coordinators provide texts in this 12-week study group, which meets three hours for film viewing, then two hours the following week for discussion.
