From: Michael Lawrence <[email protected]> I just finished teaching a course on adaptation ... Jindabyne, an Australian film based on the Raymond Carver short story 'So Much Water So Close To Home' worked particularly well as a 'transcultural' adaptation We had a great deal of fun with Roger Corman's The Fall of the House of Usher, based on the Poe short story Students also really enjoyed Where The Wild Things Are, as a picture book to feature film adaptation The classic novel we read was Wuthering Heights - comparing Wyler's film from 1939 with Andrea Arnold's from last year (we also looked at the Bunuel version) - students wrote very well on the differences between these two films (and the novel) For 'free adaptation' we did Claire Denis's Beau Travail / Melville's Billy Budd - Catherine Grant has a brilliant essay on 'free auteurist adaptation' in the journal Screen focusing on Denis's film best, Michael Lawrence University of Sussex
