WONDERFUL

Rating: Null/10 (7 November 1999)

This is one of my favourite films and it's based on one of my favourite books ever produced. Some people may say that it's a naïve picture, but there's really more behind the curtain. Of course some of the wonderful points of the novel fall by the wayside in the picture, but there's still that sense of parody and at the same time, earnest desire to tell an amusing story. The music is deliciously simple and descriptive, a good sidekick to the audience. In short, a film about everything. And if I may say this... READ THE BOOK AS WELL!!!
