Naturally, for his final masterpiece, John Huston decided to take on James Joyce. Here's alexL_E_I on his brilliant, jaw-dropping adaptation of the 'unfilmable' story The Dead:
“It was always a great affair, Miss Morkan’s annual dance….” The snow is falling as the guests arrive. Cousins, nieces and nephews, friends of the family—it is the annual Christmastime party. Arriving late are Gabriel and Gretta Conroy, the former of whom becomes something of a protagonist in a deceptively simple story, as he comes to a revelation about his own insignificance.Dubliners, the final film of Hollywood maverick John Huston, who made a career of adaptation.
When they’re going to leave the party, Gabriel catches a glimpse of Gretta struck in a trance at the top of the stairs, lost in memory as a song echoes through the halls. He confronts her when they get home; she reveals that song, “The Lass of Aughrim,” used to be sung to her by her first love, Michael Furey, a young boy from her days in Galway. Michael was in declining health when they first met, but Gretta believes she killed him.
Even though Huston makes it look all too easy, it required intensive and exacting rehearsals. Huston would adjust the actors’ every movement, and the speed at which they did them. The final product seems effortless. That’s the magic. But it’s here too in the rehearsal process for, flashes back to John’s early days, and his own revelation that would lead him to one day become a filmmaker.. He was 18 years old.
