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
There's so much to love about this film, we don't know where to start... glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/the-lo…
We *need* to talk about the cast... #TheLostDaughter is crammed full of exciting stars: Olivia Colman, Jessie Buckley, Dakota Johnson and Paul Mescal (!) all star in the film, and Maggie Gyllenhaal directed it AND wrote the screenplay adaptation. trib.al/BPqO21k
As for the plot, Colman plays Leda, a mysterious university professor who becomes obsessed with a young woman, Nina (played by Johnson) and her daughter, while on holiday in Italy. The trailer's action teases the dark relationship that begins to develop. trib.al/BPqO21k
