Great Expectations| Director: | Alfonso Cuaron | | Writer: | Mitch Glazer | | Director of Photography: | Emmanuel Lubezki | | Editor: | Steve Weisberg | | Music: | Patrick Doyle | | Production Designer: | Tony Burrough | | Producer: | Art Linson | | Twentieth Century Fox; R; 115 minutes | | Release: | 1/98 | | Cast: | Ethan Hawke, Gwyneth Paltrow, Hank Azaria, Chris Cooper, Anne Bancroft, Robert De Niro, Josh Mostel and Kim Dickens | | Based on the novel by Charles Dickens |
This modern rendition of Charles Dicken's novel starring Ethan Hawke and Gwyneth Paltrow is bold, brash and decidedly un-Dickensian. The Americanized setting and character revisions would make the dear old author turn over in his grave. Nonetheless, Cuaron's lavish style succeeds in making this classic tale of desire as irresistible as ever.
