Title: A Dance with the Prime Minister
Product review: Fans of Alan Hollinghurst should be really pleased with this TV adaptation of his last and award-winning novel. The TV format may be difficult for some used to cinema-size productions (e.g. difficult to take at one go) but seems perfectly suited for this particular novel. The Line of Beauty develops slowly, gradually and it requires time to play itself out completely. A 90 minutes long movie would have to squeeze and cut down the plot and there is a serious danger little would be left of its original charms.If you know and like AH novels and The Line of Beauty in particular you will not be disappointed. If you stumbled upon this DVD by chance, it may be a good introduction to some decent reading.
