We asked The Atlantic’s writers and editors: What’s a film adaptation that’s better than the book?
The article explains why they consider the movies Jurassic Park, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Devil Wears Prada, The Social Network, and Clear and Present Danger each to be better than their source material.
Under the Skin. I love the movie. It is so evocative, and some of the imagery is incredibly disturbing without depicting traditional screen violence. The book isn’t bad, but it’s much more straightforward and simple by comparison. I think Jonathan Glazer really elevated the material, as he does with every movie he makes.
It looked like a bit of softcore with scarjo. No?
Yep
No
