The futility of our rational plans - the surprises of life just around the corner - the impossibility of true love, or the late recognition what it would have been.

Read the book over 20 years ago, and saw the movie a couple of years after that (but had forgotten about it until I watched it again tonight). Very good cast, but the story moves a bit slowly at times. As I read the book such a long time ago, it's impossible for me to comment now on the quality of the adaptation, but I think it's pretty close, to what I thought was a creepy story back then!

Un sympathique roman-photo mais pas plus. Bien que l'histoire lorgne vers la tragedie grecque, les enjeux dramatiques sont assez faibles puisque l'on comprend trÃ¨s vite oÃ¹ tout cela va se terminer. Une confrontation un peu expediee et decevante d'ailleurs. J'ai neanmoins envie de lire le roman car le personnage principal desabuse, obsede par les coÃ¯ncidences et qui se laisse porter oÃ¹ elles le mÃ¨nent, m'a bien plu.

Bearable for throwing out a number of alluring literary ideas, otherwise it's bogged down by an overload of symbolism.

Creepy... I read the book years ago and when I saw my local library had the movie version of it I wanted to see it.

Voyager starts in mystery, and intrigues us. It continues with intelligence, and absorbs us. And then it ends in melodrama, and disappoints us.

The whole thing came over as the worst kind of middle-aged fantasy.
