| Summary: | "William Trevor's novel Felicia's Journey was first published in 1994, just before the 'Celtic Tiger' economic boom and the Northern Ireland Peace Agreements. This was also a time of decline in the influence of the Catholic Church after a series of scandals. So by the time that Atom Egoyan's film version was released in 1999, Irish society was undergoing very rapid changes and the Ireland of Felicia's Journey was already on the wane." "Avoiding a crude 'fidelity' model of adaptation as direct mapping, Stephanie McBride's study shows how film adaptation is a more complex and subtle process. Egoyan's film carefully reworks Trevor's themes, thriller legacy and Hitchcockian overtones, as it articulates Ireland's social and cultural shifts within the most global of artforms. This in turn opens up the ongoing dynamics of cultural identity, memory and representation." -- From cover. |
