Product Description

A superbly crafted dramatization of Nobel Prize-winning author William Faulkner's first nationally published short story, this is the tale of an indomitable Southern woman who clutched the past so resolutely that life itself was denied. The film is at once a twentieth century Gothic tale, a psychological study of isolation, and a history of the decay of the old order. Starring Anjelica Huston as Miss Emily Grierson, and featuring John Carradine in a cameo role, the film is narrated by John Houseman. Produced by Lyndon Chubbuck and H. Kaye Dyal.

Although I would really like a performed version of this Faulkner short story, this one is a little too bizarre for my purpose. The plot line is jumbled and the acting strange. The house and clothing are acceptable and there are several recognizable character actors. The acting and editing, however, are too unbelievable. The original story is weird. Add bizarre acting and this DVD is beyond my ability to suspend my disbelief.

many summaries come to mind - none are quite adequate.

As expected, very good acting out of a Faulkner story with a surprise ending. Madness can exist anyplace on earth but the Deep South seems to be a particularly interesting setting. One thing that Faulkner brings out is inherited tendencies toward insanity and how people are steeped in tradition.

Captures the essence and mood of Faulkner's story, great companion piece for study of story

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2011

If you look at reviews from other sites online, you will see that there is a great disparity between loving and hating this short film based on one of Faulkner's most recognizable short stories. My thinking is that you're probably in a no-win situation if you try to adapt a Faulkner short story or novel to film. There are many subtleties and nuances that film cannot capture in Faulkner's setting, focus, or telling of stories. That being said, Lyndon Chubbock does a fairly good job illustrating the Gothic, unsettling, madness that this short story evokes, and the declination of aristocracy in one Southern family. One problem transferring "A Rose for Emily" to film is the accountability in time, and another is the accuracy of mood. When reading this story, we are hit with quite a punch in the gut at the resolution, and its impact really takes awhile to digest. This is hard to duplicate in film. In the film, there are indications of where the conclusion is headed (as Miss Emily's isolation and madness become apparent), and so, while it has some shock, it isn't nearly as powerful as the story.

Still, in the short time of the film (27 minutes), quite a bit is captured. Angelica Houston succeeds in capturing the essence of Miss Emily's deteriorating mental state and John Housemen does a solid job with the "voice over" narration of the story. There is a dark, dreary atmosphere in the film that parallels with the story.

Honestly, it is fantastic to see this short story brought to life, despite some of its minor flaws (a few discrepancies in the story). This film could be used as a great resource or companion piece for teachers who want to help students visualize "A Rose for Emily" and its complexities. Over all, this story captures the essential aspects and pieces of the story.

The quality of the film is also fairly good.

One of my biggest beefs is the price, which is a tad pricey for what you get. Hopefully this will be reduced.

Faulkner fans should definitely consider checking this one out.

Good for compare and contrast

It is always interesting to watch a movie version of a short story after studying it in class. A majority of my students liked the short story "A Rose for Emily," but most gave the movie an average review. The most common comment was that there were unnecessary additions, such as the crazy Aunt at the beginning and the Mr. Baron washing up with his men. Even though they realized additions needed to be made to make the movie long enough, they thought a more in-depth explanation of Rose's relationship with her father before he died would have been better. A few also commented that the movie is not a stand alone and would have to be used as a companion piece with the short story. I agree, bat feel the purchase was worth it to do a good compare and contrast essay.

Excellent rendition of story. Angelica Huston pulls you into Emily's world, good handling of the story line, small deviations. Good for teaching.
