I can’t believe it. The trailer of the American version of my favourite movie just came out. Originally, this jewel of a film was called Bella Martha and it is perfect in every sense. Now it has come out as No Reservations with Catherine Zeta Jones and Aaron Eckart. Oh, how could they do this?
Has there EVER been an American adaptation of a foreign film, which came even close to doing the original justice? If so, please, remind me.
I just remember the sacrilege of transposing films such as La Cage aux Folles (French), Three Men and a Baby (French), Dance with me (Japanese). Not that these films were brilliant, but they all had a sense of magic, humour, and timing that was completely lost in translation.
