"The past is a foreign country...

...they do things differently there". Last class we enjoyed the analysis of one of my favourites: "The Go Between" by L.P.Hartley. In this masterpiece, the voices of the past and the present blend to create the picture of the mind of a child who falls in a trap set by two lovers. Leo is cheated by the group of adults that surround him, as well as by the 20th century, which is far from becoming the golden era it had been expected to be.



This is an interesting video about "The Go Between" . Featuring commentary by Dan Callahan of The House Next Door, Slant Magazine and Bright Lights Film Journal. There is a final comparison with another film you´ll have to see after the winter holidays.
