Fortunately, James fans can relax a little. Apart from the opening and a few surrealistic dream sequences (which are, of course, creations of the director) this new film adaptation is surprisingly faithful to the novel--at least on the surface level of plot and dialogue...
Artful equivocations are even worse; lynx-eyed sly little rascals that we are, we see right through them. (Up to exam 40. Then our lynx eyes droop, and grading habits relax. Try to get on the bottom of the pile.) Again, it is not that A.E.'s are vicious or ludicrous as such; but in quantity they become sheer madness. Or induce it.
