Great Expectations(Film,1998)

Charles Dickens' tale of revenge, obsession and corrupting wealth is ingeniously updated to '70s and '80s America in this glamorous Hollywood adaptation. White trash wannabe painter Ethan Hawke becomes the target of jilted fruitcake Anne Bancroft's vendetta against men as he chases heartless Gwyneth Paltrow from the Everglades to New York's perilously fashionable art scene. Pepping up the tale's inate romance and heady drama with sumptuous visuals and rare eroticism, the film is a lush, surprisingly sensitive, yet adventurous, interpretation of a classic story.Widescreen, Subtitles, Dolby Digital 5.1Keywords: Drama, Romance, Based-on-Novel, Movie, Film, Movies, Films
