Death by Adaptation Podcast - Episode 03: Jane Eyre & Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Death by Adaptation PodcastDeath By Adaptation is Clapper’s monthly book club, where a group of cinephiles and bibliophiles meets up to discuss new and classic books and their cinematic adaptations, focusing on historical relevance, fun pieces of trivia, and how distinctly different the written and visual art forms are.
In this episode, we discussed both the 1943 and 2011 adaptations of Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, analysing its themes and deciding which retelling is superior. Next, we talked about the drug-fueled road trip of Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and how Terry Gilliam’s cinematic translation could have benefited from being made two decades earlier.
