I like versions of things.

The Way that THE OLD CURIOSITY SHOP (and, more overtly, A THOUSAND ACRES) is a version of KING LEAR.

The way that CATCHER IN THE RYE is a version of HAMLET.

The way that A GIRL NAMED ZIPPY is a version of THE CONFESSIONS OF SAINT AUGUSTINE.

The way that BRAZIL (film) is a version of 1984.

The way that PICKPOCKET((film) is a version of CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.

The way that BALL OF FIRE (film) is a version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

The way that MIDNIGHT (film) is a version of Cinderella.

The way that CASH ON DEMAND (film) is a version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

The way OEDIPUS THE KING stands behind James' "The Beast in the Jungle" and in the wings of Robbe-Grillet's THE ERASERS.

The way THE TEMPEST stands behind FORBIDDEN PLANET.

The way that MADAME BOVARY and ANNA KARENINA stand behind THE AWAKENING.
