Gone too, naturally, is the remarkable artwork of Eddie Campbell. Campbell shares authorship with Moore for good reason. His scribbley, impressionist black and white pen work picks out just the details important to a scene. The rest seems shrouded in mist. After several hundred pages you feel closed in yourself. You can't read the book without at least one walk in the sunshine. The Hughes brothers have their own misty style, but have chosen to shoot in color. The look of the movie becomes its best asset, exploring the medium's unique possibilities of luminosity, movement and composition...

...Well, we should certainly be vigilant; any strange occurrences of spraying a fine mist, for example, should be viewed with suspicion...

And once we found ourselves walking a stone path suspended on tree trunks jutting out over a cliff's edge as, above us, the mist closed in on our night's campsite. Keen walkers on the right side of 60, it was harder than we had expected. But we made it. And what we got were virgin views, flower-filled meadows and granite landscapes shared only with shepherds and the mountain spirits...
