My Favorite (and Least Favorite) Books on Film
In case you haven’t noticed, I kinda like to combine books and costumes a bit. Also, books and costumes and movies. So over on Frock Flicks for National Book Month, I rounded up my top five and bottom five movies adapted from books, with an emphasis on costume.
There’s some Jane Austen, natch, and a Merchant-Ivory adaption of an E.M. Forester novel, of course. But astute viewers may notice that adaptions of Wuthering Heights make it on both sides of the list. OK, it’s one of my very favourite books of all time, so I’m a little critical. That’s what happens when you write an undergrad thesis and an unfinished Master’s thesis on the Brontës’ works.
And I made a certain slightly pretentious costume based on Wuthering Heights too, which I might just make an ever better, even more awesomely pretentious version of for next year’s Costume College Gala, since the theme is literature…
