Le Juif errant (1926)
Five hour b/w silent adaptation of Doctor Eugene Sue
Please send VHS copy of 1926 Luitz-Morat French version for review thank you. My homepage (www.wanderingjew.freehomepage.com) is the result of twenty-five years of literary monopoly research and development following Doctor George Kumler Anderson's document from twenty years of Guggenheim fellowships, who states: "Yet, (Sue's) Le Juif errant is the most celebrated single literary treatment of the Legend...a large rock dropped in a small pool". As an independent Canadian screenwriter, it has been adapted for television in seventy-eight half-hour episodes, with a theatrical reduction suitable for film or stage, even a television pilot. This has not been treated as a motion-picture of epic proportions, and that is the reason for ranking this present obscurity as mediocre. Show me otherwise, and prove it!
Como agua para chocolate (1992)
Like quail in rose petal sauce.
I am studying cinema at the university here, and in the two page listing of movies to analyze, the library only had this video. It was superbly executed as a romantic adaptation for both men and women, although my roommate complained about the nudity and questioned why I watched it a second time. Actually, that was when the true appreciation of how the work was pieced together so invisibly, to another culture in another time...all the plot points lined up from the inciting incident of Pedro noticing Tita as a child over the constantly recurring motif about food, through the many twists and turns until the tears from onions...
