Did we need another
film version of “Great Expectations”? Why? I'd say the David Leanversion had it down properly, and was certainly atmospheric enough. The story hasn't changed. Well,
cinematic technique has moved on, I suppose. And you can use new
actors – that'll make it more accessible, won't it? A bit
like Borges' story in which Paul Menard re-writes Don Quixote, using
exactly the same words – but his version is richer in allusions to
more recent events. So this was quite enjoyable to watch but feels
completely superfluous.
