Great Adaptations: Jaws on paper and screen - Global Comment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since starting this column I’ve seen some really great book adaptations, but as a rule of thumb I usually find the books to be (even just marginally) better than their film or TV adaptations. Films often need to compress plots, simplify characters and rarely capture the full richness of a novel. Yet every so often an adaptation comes along that does something altogether rarer – it discovers the story at the core of the novel that was waiting to be told. Steven Spielberg’s Jaws (1975) is one of t
The Master of Suspense: how Alfred Hitchcock changed cinema – Late to the Movies - Global Comment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last month, I spent some time with the great stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Clark Gable, Katharine Hepburn and Bette Davis reminded me of an era when audiences went to the cinema as much for the performers as for the films themselves. A few months earlier, I had explored Method acting through A Streetcar Named Desire, The Best Days Of Our Lives and On the Waterfront, watching Brando and his cohort of Method actors bring a new psychological realism to the screen. This month, I wanted to explore

This month over at Five Books For, I’m looking at books that explore the Holocaust from different angles. As living memory recedes, I’ve been thinking about the particular value of literature in preserving not only what happened, but our capacity to imagine it. My grandparents belonged to a generation who could tell me about the Second World War because they had lived through it, but my son will never have that experience. For his generation, the war and the Holocaust will exist solely through h
Star power: the golden age of charisma – Late to the Movies - Global Comment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the past few months, we’ve watched a series of revolutions in cinema history. We’ve seen Italian Neorealism strip away studio artifice in pursuit of authenticity, explored how Method acting transformed screen performance, and watched the 1950s grapple with changing ideas about youth and rebellion. This month felt like a good moment to take a step back in time, back to Hollywood’s Golden Age and the era of the studio star. Long before Marlon Brando and James Dean encouraged audiences to beli
Great Adaptations: Alias Grace on screen - Global Comment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This month, over at Five Books For, we’ve been looking at books that reimagine the Victorians – a selection of modern novels that revisit the nineteenth century from fresh and often unexpected perspectives. Rather than presenting the polished, familiar images of the Victorian era that were accustomed to, these stories uncover hidden lives, challenge long-held assumptions and remind us that history is rarely as neat as we like to imagine. It’s a fascinating theme, and one that naturally lends its
