the dying animal

Here are a few scenes from Elegy, a new movie based on Philip Roth's The Dying Animal. I enjoyed the book, but it's definitely far from his best. Interesting choice to make into a movie.

And apparently American Pastoral is in pre-production, which is exciting. That could be an amazing movie, or a colossal failure. The film adaptation of The Human Stain was mediocre. Of the two other books that have been made into movies, I've only see one. Goodbye, Columbus is pretty decent, but extremely dated. I haven't seen Portnoy's Complaint. It's hard to find and only available on VHS.
