Oscar and Lucinda (1997)

Cate Blanchett and Raph Fiennes? Yes, sir.

I've not read the book--never read any Carey, shamefully--but I think I'll put it on my list now. The film is gorgeous and the narrative moves along and opens beautifully in a fairy tale sort of way. The end? Sigh. It's fitting and moving and ultimately perfect but I'd love to change it.
