Example how not to adapt books


The movie omits a lot of the book, its "meat" so to speak. It should compensate difference in medium with video means. It does not. So very powerful picturesque novel turns into incoherent clichéd film.

Also total miscast for Beck, Collberg, and especially Gunvald Larson.

Very poor, incompetent work.
