A book (1939), then a film (1947), and then a series (2020).
The series feels like an ode to the film, except that the story takes much longer to tell. Perhaps that's a good choice, as it felt better timed and measured to me.
The visuals of the setting and the sets are clearly a reference to the original in their picturesque, artificiality, but also much more beautiful, undoubtedly thanks to modern technology. The camerawork is somewhat tame, however; the rather eccentric and alienating way the original used extreme close-ups is not reflected.
But what stands out more in that comparison is a, how to put it politely, "minor flaw" in the cast. While the film builds to a climax in which the exceptionally beautiful Kathleen Byron undergoes a convincing decline, the series stalls with Franciosi, who fails to impress. On both counts.
