WEDNESDAY 10:05 A.M. Tuttle is in the OR, assisting in the Jacks "living-related" transplant, when word comes that a liver has been located on the West Coast and can be in Durham by evening. It arrives in a large styrofoam box, bathed in preservative inside a plastic bag--surprisingly mundane packaging for a gift of life. It is after 11 p.m. when Tuttle removes Hunter's shriveled liver and begins the delicate work of suturing all the various vessels and ducts from the new liver into Hunter's system. At 12:30 in the morning, the moment...
...seductive word play of the novel is clearly missing from the movie, but perhaps Lyne recognized that it would have been a near-impossible task to recreate Nabokov's words through the medium of film. Indeed, the reason why Lyne's film works is that it focuses upon the potential of film to beautify even the morally grotesque, ensuring that Nabokov's broader message about the power of art has not been lost, only translated to another medium.

"Italy" is a beautiful love ballad evoking images...
...role of Hilarion performed by soloist Yuri Yanowsky was technically amazing, with his smooth long lines, streamlined jumps, high extensions and flawless turns. In one word--beautiful. However, his artistry is completely lacking and his acting seemed extremely strained and forced; it was just not enough for the role of Hilarion. Patrick Armand's acting completely overpowered Yanowsky's, and made for lopsided encounters and a lackluster revelation of Albrecht's true identity. Yanowsky has the technical capability. He just desperately needs to work on his acting and artistry...
