Prima Facie - a film of a play, a one woman performance by Jodie Comer and one of the strongest pieces of acting I have seen for some time. Not your usual fare but wow was it good - just home from watching it
Watched the French version of "Count of Monte Cristo" which was released this year, after reading the reviews on here
Think I'll need to watch it again, but decided to read the plot behind the book afterwards, as its different to the 2002 release, was curious to learn which of the two was closest to the original material, and ultimately found it interesting that both versions have their snippets from the original novel, but equally deviate themselves
I wasn't a massive fan of the constant jump between the years, until it finally settled down after finding the treasure.
Think the 2002 is still my favourite, the plot from Monte Cristo to get revenge was a little bit easier to understand
Then again relying solely on subtitles probably didnt help, as you're probably having to remember what you read, rather than what you heard earlier in the film.
