raisaidus' review


''A Spark of originality?, 9 November 2012
5/10
Author: raisaidus from Spain

...the story plot, is not original at all. British writer Muriel Spark's last novel The Finishing School masterfully develops a similar story. I do not know whether the director or scriptwriter have taken their story from the novel or not. If they have, it would be, apart from a dishonest act of intellectual piracy, a rather sad and regrettable event.''

Honestly, can he read?
Imdb informs us this movie is based on a play, play written by Juan Mayorga.
With a little google magic, we can find out that play was written in 2006.
''The Finishing School'' was written in 2007, so, if someone stole, it was Spark, not Mayorga or Ozon.

I don't have an opinion either way, but it's odd that you went to the trouble of making a new thread without a quick visit to wikipedia....

When I visited Wikipedia, it said ''2007''. Wtf? If it's truly 2004, I'm sorry. Still, I don't think they stole anything, it's just not the same story...
