£185.00
A first edition, first printing, published by Cape in 1981. A fine book (a touch spotted to the top edge) with SIGNED photograph of Pinter to the front pastedown. In a fine clipped dust wrapper.
‘The French Lieutenant’s Woman’, adapted by Harold Pinter from John Fowles’ novel, is a 1981 film that intertwines two parallel love stories. One is set in Victorian England, where Charles, a biologist, becomes captivated by Sarah, an enigmatic woman with a scandalous past. The other narrative follows the modern-day actors, Mike and Anna, who are filming Charles and Sarah’s story and develop their own complex romance. Pinter’s screenplay contrasts the restrained Victorian setting with the freedom of contemporary relationships, exploring themes of love, obsession, and identity. The film blurs reality and fiction, mirroring the characters’ turbulent emotions.
