Associated with the film '1984' (the review references John Hurt and criticizes the adaptation).

The available review criticizes Micheal Redford's film 1984 as flat, boring and inconclusive. The reviewer argues the film's imagery weakens Orwell's symbolic message. John Hurt is mentioned but does not redeem the film. Heavy gray tones and an emphasis on appearances are highlighted.

For:Readers interested in film adaptations of literature, Orwell fans, film critics

 Flat, boring, and moreover, inconclusive: the irony is that it is precisely the power of the image that "destroys" the true message of the work, which is, a vision of the world not bound in a context of time and space, but essentially symbolic and transcendent, intrinsically philosophical.
