cubanmiamiboy Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Who has seen this..? I went tonight, and LOVED IT. The film truly captures the dark, gloomy atmosphere I remembered very well from the book-(I read it when I was an adolescent, and never saw any film adaptation...). Elizabeth Olsen is just on the spot for the role-(thank God no Keira Knightley here!), and loved seeing Jessica Lange again. She was fantastic. Go see it. Link to comment
sandik Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I saw a trailer last week, but hadn't heard that this was in process, so I'm pretty clue-free. It looked great, and I'm glad to hear good news. Link to comment
cubanmiamiboy Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Glenn Close was supposed to play Mme. Raquin, but she dropped and instead Lange was called-(she is magnificent here). Funny...there's a sequence with Lange which looks carbon copy from one of Close's best remembered ones. Of course we all know the story, but I think given that I never went back to the book again, and never saw any other film adaptations, made it for a very pleasant night at the cinema. Link to comment
