 Hardy’s work in the novel, like Polanski’s in the cinema, posits as a condition: NOT a reflection, NOT an analysis, NOT a denunciation, NOT a historicization, NOT an ideological design, NOT a pretext, NOT a direction, but: - an expression.

 Polanski’s genius for this film ensured that by subtraction a paradoxically superior value was obtained to the sum of all the elements he decided to leave and insert in the adaptation.

It highlights the philosophical and artistic elements present in both the book and film, praising Polanski's subtle direction and Nastassja Kinski’s performance.

It encourages viewers to watch the film and read the novel as a meaningful and complementary experience. Discover the poetic power of Polanski’s Tess—watch the film and dive into Hardy’s timeless novel today!
