Summary:
"An astounding array of talent came together for the big-screen adaptation of
John
Fowles
's novel The
French
Lieutenant
's
Woman
, a postmodern masterpiece that had been considered unfilmable. With an ingenious script by the Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter, British New Wave trailblazer Karel Reisz transforms
Fowles
's tale of scandalous romance into an arresting, hugely entertaining movie about cinema. In Pinter'
s
reimagining,
Jeremy
Irons
and Meryl Streep star in parallel narratives, as a Victorian-era gentleman and the social outcast he risks everything to love, and as the contemporary actors cast in those roles and immersed in their own forbidden affair. Shot by the consummate cinematographer Freddie Francis and scored by the venerated composer and conductor Carl Davis, is a beguiling, intellectually nimble feat of filmmaking, starring a pair of legendary actors in early leading roles."--Container.
