Literature in popular culture

Perfect movie, though too short! It's just so good, you want more of it.

Well worth checking the tv serial! You'll get hooked.

Disney's 1954 more easily agreeable adaptation of Barrie's work. As colourful. Less rich.








  

Interesting camera-angles and editing. Good acting though sometimes overplayed (the secondary characters, mainly). As in the book, be prepared to be pissed off by the heroine before the end.

Sally Hawkins & Rupert Penry-Jones
