If you think the #TheLostDaughter is a very good film - and I largely agree with you - then you should definitely read the book by #ElenaFerrante @europaeditions. It is exceptional! A few points of comparison between the film and the book. A thread 1/12
The lido is a borderland, the space in which nature and culture, past and present, (and a bunch of other binary structures) meet. In the book #TheLostDaughter this is suggested in two ways 1) the use of Neapolitan dialect; 2) the doll. 2/12
The dialect spoken by Nina's family brings Leda back to her roots against her will. It is a part of her nature-culture which she rejects. She is now a cultured person, a professor. Leda’s flashbacks re her mother & working class Neapolitan upbringing are absent in the film. 3/12
