VHS Movie Reviews of Little Dorrit - Part Two: Little Dorrit's Story
Movie Review: Unique Treatment of a Dickens Novel, One I'll Watch Again
Summary: 5 Stars
In recent years there have been some excellent productions of Dicken's works, including the BBC's Martin Chuzzlewit and the lushly beautiful Our Mutual Friend, neither of these would I want to be without in my video library!But this production of Little Dorrit is done with a totally different eye, a unique approach, that I thought takes you straight into the novel. The producers of this film built the most unique sets and you have the remarkable feeling of at first watching a play unfolding before you only to find as you watch and become familiar with the usual Dickens plethora of characters that you are actually on a street in London in front of the Marshallsea yourself. It must have been very like this once, with the noise and confusion of such a city pressing all about and out of it emerges first one story and then another.
I thought the technique of telling the same story twice through different eyes helped to explain many things that a straight once through telling would have missed.
Excellent acting, beautiful music, all from Verdi, and a screenplay that captures the spirit of a great novel, makes this one part of my library we've already watched several times!
