Journal 15: The Film Version of French Lieutenant's Woman

As soon as you have finished reading the novel, you will need to rent the film version of this novel (available at most rental places). Now that you have read Fowles' novel (and have considered his ending), watch the film and see how its director, Karel Reisz, handles the "multiple nature" of Fowles' masterpiece. This journal entry will be a critique of the film. What do you think the director gets right? What doesn't work for you. In this entry, be sure to consider how the director handles "the ending" of the film version.


Have fun with this amazing film.
