Wasn't expecting this to be such a slog. Definitely in contention for the rare 'Film is Better' Prize, and half of it is because point of view predominantly sits with someone thoroughly unlikeable, a misanthrope sitting in the filth of his own unprocessed guilt. Rather unlike the usual with film-as-text conversion, I think the addition of a character for the film also serves the themes of the story better.
