Product Information

When the TV show came out I was elated, but I feared that it wouldn't adapt very well because so much of the book is spent in Marianne and Connell's heads.

Adaptation is very interesting to me and this is a great example of when it is not done well - the adaptation of a work of art has no life or creative spirit of its own, it just takes the source material and converts it into another form, without any admirable intentions, with actually maybe the least admirable intention in mind - to take the source material and convert it into something more easily consumable. Centred around the inner lives of Marianne and Connell, Rooney charts their entry into adult life as they learn about intimacy, forgiveness and self-belief against a backdrop of shifting social spheres. Absolutely engrossing and surprisingly heart-breaking with more depth, subtlety, and insight than any one novel deserves.So lazy and dispassionate, very clearly churned out for the shoot, completely technical rather than a labour of love, without any kind of cinematic vision or aspirations. Her second feature will be an adaptation of the Graham Swift novel Mothering Sunday for Number 9 Films and Film4. The complete screenplays of the acclaimed Emmy-nominated drama based on Sally Rooney's bestselling novel. I find both of the actors to be well-cast and hot, and that's the nicest thing I have to say about it.
