What critics compared Madame Bovary to
Cinematographer Andrij Parekh ’s melancholy images seamlessly combine muck and luxury, sometimes within the same image, in a way that’s reminiscent of Joe Wright ’s “ Pride and Prejudice ” and Thomas Vinterberg ’s “ Far From the Madding Crowd ” earlier this year.
If Madame Bovary finally has more in common with Joe Wright's Pride and Prejudice than Roman Polanski's Tess , it's because Barthes neglects to thoroughly conceive of Emma's plight, instead making only sporadic gestures to it.
