The comedy, which stars Gary Oldman as Rosencrantz, Tim Roth as Guildenstern, Richard Dreyfuss as the Player, Iain Glenn as Hamlet, Joanna Miles as Gertrude and Ian Richardson as Polonius, received generally strong reviews and even won the Venice Film Festival’s top prize over the odds-on favorite, Martin Scorsese’s “Goodfellas.” “What happens when you get older is that you feel freer and looser about defending or protecting your original text,” Stoppard said. “I felt by that time that I knew a little more about writing screenplays, though I still don’t know enough until this day, really.” “I knew enough to know that shouldn’t get too wordy,” Stoppard said. Had the Boorman-directed film come to fruition, Stoppard said, “it would have been a heavy number.”īut by the time he wrote the screenplay to “Rosencrantz” for the 1990 film version that was released theatrically in 1991, Stoppard had several film projects to his credit, including co-writing Terry Gilliam’s 1985 classic, “Brazil.” Unequal offers young people a compelling framework for addressing racial injustice in their own lives.ĭR.

The intellectual revolution of the 17th & early 18th eighteenth centuries was the single most formative event in Western history, bringing together the humanities & natural sciences in an unprecedented ferment of conceptual & practical creativity. Lisa Jardine makes clear in this remarkable book that this is a distinction which is both artificial & historically inaccurate. Scientific research is castigated for its inhumane methods & lack of moral responsibility, while art is treated as an enduring source of essential guidance to society's spiritual well-being. Today the 'two cultures' - art and science - have come to be treated as fundamentally opposed, their aims incompatible.

I’ve also heard many praises of her writing style, setting the atmosphere and character work. So, I decided to leave it for the next year and read something else by this author.ĭaphne du Maurier is known as a queen of dark, gothic, unnerving novels in which not even the end brings a full reveal. And autumn, and specifically October, seemed like the perfect time for it.īut, I couldn’t get a copy of Rebecca in time for this year’s pre-Halloween read. I’ve heard so many amazing things about it, I just had to try it out. To be completely honest, the only reason why I picked up My Cousin Rachel was because Daphne du Maurier has gained a lot of attention lately with her other gothic mystery novel – Rebecca.
