Still, the movie was nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Foreign Movie category while the novel it is based on is generally recognized as not being nearly the writer's best work.

Film and Literature
In class we are watching a movie based on the novel I'm considering analyzing in my next article. As a result, I'm rereading the novel at the same time as I'm showing the movie in class. I'm noticing more vividly than ever how poor, how lackluster, how limited are the artistic means of even the best film as compared to literature. The cinematic version is so heavy-handed, so gauche in comparison with the literary text.
