Welcome to Shawshank

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2015)

Probably Stephen King's best adaptation ever. Of the kind to make have a change of mind those who consider King as a minor writer only good to work in the horror. Having seen this movie and then "The Green Mile" and "The mist", one thing's for sure : Frank Darabont should be the only one authorized to turn Stephen King's writings into movies. I regret that this magnificent movie received no Oscar, in spite of its nominations numerous. The Oscar of best actor for Morgan Freeman, best score for Thomas Newman and best cinematography for Roger Deakins would not have been stolen. I would have also awarded Bob Gunton as best actor in a supporting role
