The French Lieutenant's Woman (1981)
Country: GB
Technical: col 123m
Director: Karel Reisz
Cast: Jeremy Irons, Meryl Streep, Leo McKern
Synopsis:
Actors researching their parts for a film find themselves in thrall to the doomed romance between a jilted woman and her palaeontologist lover.
Review:
Technically brilliant, dramatically flawed, attempt to provide a filmic equivalent of Fowles's mix of modern vernacular and period subject matter. The main story is forever qualified by the contemporary scenes in a way which interrupts flow but provides meat for the brain.
