![]() ![]() Ambrose runs some kind of land-based business-he has a lot of workers walking around wielding scythes. He cops to not liking much of anything, besides hanging out with Ambrose in a dusty manse whose interior looks like the gatefold sleeve picture of a mid-70s Jethro Tull album. Orphaned, brought up by an adult cousin named Ambrose, sent to school. His name is Philip, and after wondering who’s to blame, he gives a brief accounting of his life. This movie begins with a few noncommittal scenic shots of rural England and a man saying in voiceover, “Did she? Didn’t she? Who’s to blame?” Hearing this, I thought, “Well, that’s no ‘Last night I dreamt I went to Manderlay again.’” Not fair, maybe, but “My Cousin Rachel” is, like Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rebecca,” based on a novel by Daphne du Maurier, master of the moody semi-Gothic romantic thriller.Īs it happens, du Maurier’s novel “My Cousin Rachel” has an entirely different and hookier opening line: “They used to hang men at Four Turnings in the old days.” One feature of this movie, written and directed by Roger Michell, is-I’m assuming here-a new conception of its protagonist, the novel’s unreliable narrator. ![]() ![]() ![]() On the topic of obsession comes Hamsun's first novel, Hunger, published in 1890. It should, seeing as I owe a large sum of money back for furthering my education of it. Maybe it is an obsession, but literature fills a special place in my heart. One day I hope to have my own personal library in my mind it looks much like the one from Beauty and the Beast a la Disney, but less cartoonish. Plus, I greatly enjoy scavenging through used book stores for old hardcovers and often traverse several stores before reading a novel I know I'll love just to be sure I have the edition that best suits me. I can understand their versatility and convenience, but there is a strange power felt while just holding a nice edition of a novel in your hands, especially after time has passed and you pick it back up just to feel its weight in your palms. Perhaps this is why I never got into the electronic readers. I can often relate any major event in my life to the particular novel I was reading at the time, and vice versa, making my bookshelf an eternal, tangled web of my past. I'll caress each spine with my eyes, occasionally running a finger down it to feel a spark of retrospection and for a moment recall the times when I held a particular book during the course of absorbing it. Each shelf is swelling nearly to the point of overflowing with books, each authors collection seemingly positioned at random - yet, somehow, the location of each work holds some secret form of order that is beyond even me. I often catch myself staring, rather lovingly in fact, at my bookshelves. ![]() |
