Remains of the Day


I had read and liked the book and thought I would try it.

Satisfying, moment by moment. More of a minor-key feel than the book, because the book’s prose generates a continuous hum of excitement (of an understated kind); in the movie, its all characterization, acting, and setting, and things have a dying fall, unmediated by the artful paring of words.
