Whilst this adaption has an excellent cast (Bob Hoskins as Micawber was particularly good) and is really enjoyable and moving, I longed for it to be longer – I think Dickens’ novels need more time to unfold. In this respect, I thought the recent BBC adaption of “Bleak House” got it just right. It is nearly 20 years since I read the book but the thing that struck me was forcefully was how people in their lives could not avoid the spectre of death – consequently life appeared more real and substantial not like the entertainment culture we live in!

Bleak house –
That’s the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the title of the thread. I cannot express how much I adore that movie. I remember seeing it on BBC 2 here in England about 5 years ago and immediately went to buy a copy after I had finished watching. It was (and still is, I believe) only available on region 1 DVD, so I ended up buying an import copy along with a multi-region DVD player.
