Great Expectation


I had forgotten this movie for a long time, until a couple of days ago, that talking about our English day (topic that I will write about in some days) somebody mentioned Charles Dickens and my memory went to that Mexican movie, and I say Mexican movie because it has the style of Afonso Cuaron written all over the story, and of course the photography of the also Mexican, Emmanuel Lubezk.

Based on Charles Dickens' timeless tale, this is a story of the love of a man for an unreachable woman. Updated to modern day New York City, the story concerns a man of modest background who falls in love with a rich girl. But when a mysterious benefactor greenlights the man to make his dreams come true, everything done has the ultimate goal of making Estella fall in love with him.
An American update of the Dickens novel set on Florida's Gulf Coast and in the 1980's SoHo art world. Character's names have been changed from the source novel.
