Oh, you're totally right, Penelope (I just read it for godsakes and it's on my Top Ten list for the year!) I was actually thinking of the big-screen adaptation of McEwan's Atonement when I typed that, a film I am very much looking forward to.Penelope wrote:flipp525 wrote:A big-screen adaptation of McEwan's The Line of Beauty?
Alan Holinghurst wrote The Line of Beauty, and it's already been made into a (tepid) TV-movie by the BBC.

As Daryl F. Zanuck said, when he accepted the Best Picture Oscar for Gentleman's Agreement three years after his bitter disappointment at Wilson's loss to Going My Way, "this doesn't make up for past mistakes."
Love and hate are opposite sides of the same coin. As long as we can feel strongly about Oscar's choices one way or the other, we're hooked. It's only when we're apathetic about the choices that we drift away.Okri wrote:Why are we interested in this horse race every year? There is a question I would like to see someone shed light upon.
I'm curious about this as well. Especially for someone like Damien, when if you compare his top ten lists to the oscar choices, seem to inhabit different planets (I remember in 2001 when his top four had something like ABC Africa, In Praise of Love, Lan Yu...and something else I forgot now).
