Hi..
"The French Lieutenant's Woman" (1981)
""""""""""""
Also a book by: "John Fowles" (1969)
"""""""""""""
Starring: Meryl Streep, Jeremy Irons, Hilton McRae, Emily Morgan, Charlotte Mitchell..
>>>>>>
"Mystrey and unknowing is why we are alive - it is an energy"
Quote by: John Fowles
""""""""""""""""""""
"John Fowles", original novel "The French Lieutenant's Woman" was distinguished by a literary technique that involved telling a story of Victorian sexual and social oppression.. within the bounds of a 1970s viewpoint... How does one convey this time-frame dichotomy on film? The decision made by: director Karel Reisz and Harold Pinter ..was to frame Fowles' basic plot within a "modern" context of their own making... While we watch as Sara (Meryl Streep), a 19th-century Englishwoman ruined by an affair with a French lieutenant, enters into another disastrous relationship with principled young Charles (Jeremy Irons), we are constantly made aware that what we're seeing is only a film... This is done by surrounding.. the story with a modern narrative, focussing on a movie production company.. which is on location- filming The French Lieutenant's Woman... Meryl Streep doubles in the role of "Sara".. and the American actress who plays her, while Jeremy Irons essays the dual role.. of Charles and the handsome Briton playing Charles... Likewise, everyone else in the cast is seen as "themselves" and as their French Lieutenant's Woman characters... Not surprisingly, the "real" Streep and Irons enter into an affair which closely parallels their characters' relationship... The commercial TV version of "French Lieutenant's Woman" eliminates 30 minutes' worth of "extraneous" scenes....
