World Cinema: Why didn’t the adaptation of Norwegian Wood work?

So I went to seeNorwegian Wooda few weeks ago.

It has endured as a modern classic ever since, and has been embraced by readers over here.

So when I found out that film adaptation was imminent, I was definitely excited.

This was further fuelled by glowing press reports describing it as lyrical and sumptuous.

I was jazzed for it.

First things first: it was just all too much.

For those who havent seen Norwegian Wood, I apologise for writing such a niche column!

And also question why youve read all the way down here?

See you next time.
