Story is the hardest word

[Otto]

Story is the hardest word 
How do you film an experimental novel about a man 'unstuck in time'? John
Patterson salutes directors who have brought unwieldy books to the screen

"Other writers have made a much greater effort to ensure that their work
remains unfilmable. Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains Of The Day notwithstanding,
has often stated his pride in the relatively cine-hostile properties of his
other novels, such as The Unconsoled, a Kafkaesque interior monologue that
resists easy summary or even comprehension. Neither should we expect to see
Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow at the flicks: formal innovation and its
central image of shit-eating should put paid to that idea."


And Pasolini's dead . . .
