Charles Dickens bicentenary to be marked with film and TV retrospective

BFI plans comprehensive season celebrating most adapted author of all time in early 2012

From Alec Guinness as Fagin to Miss Piggy as Mrs Cratchit, the BFI is staging a three-month retrospective of Dickens on film and TV on London's South Bank from January, to mark the novelist's bicentenary.. The season is curated by Michael Eaton and Co-curator Adrian Wootton, said Dickens's influence on cinema and TV had been immense and continues right up to the present day, with Mike Newell's Great Expectations the next movie outing for Dickens. "It demonstrates that he is not a dead, grey old man sitting on dusty shelves who nobody reads, he is a living breathing artist whose work just keeps on rippling and resonating through our culture."
All the novels have been adapted to some degree. There are around 100 silent films, of which around a third still exist, "although we keep finding new ones all over the world and I still think there's many more out there," said Eaton.The season will include the earliest extant example of Dickens on film, a fragment from 1901 called Scrooge – or Marley's Ghost, and a version of Oliver Twist starring Jackie Coogan, who made his name in Charlie Chaplin's The Kid and who, much later in life, made his name all over again as Uncle Fester in the The Addams Family. The film was believed lost for decades until a print turned up in Yugoslavia in the 70s. Coogan himself helped with its reconstruction. Classic Dickens adaptations will include David Lean's 1948 Oliver Twist, Carol Reed's 1968 musical Oliver! and Roman Polanski's 2005 darker take. The curators said many people first encountered Dickens through TV and so five major adaptations will be screened in their entirety, beginning with Our Mutual Friend (1976) and ending with Bleak House (1985) in March. The RSC's eight-hour production The Life & Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, which was on the fledgling Channel 4, will also be screened with a panel discussion involving directors Trevor Nunn and John Caird, and actor David Threlfall who died so memorably as Smike.
Purists will also be delighted to see The Muppet Christmas Carol, which had Michael Caine as Scrooge and Kermit as Bob Cratchit, being shown in Christmas week.
The season is just one element of Dickens 2012, an international celebration marking the bicentenary of his birth on 7 February 2012.



【本報綜合外電報導】十九世紀英國大文豪狄更斯,作品在世界各地流傳,紀念狄更斯冥誕二百周年,倫敦博物館推出一九七○年以來最大特展,展出珍貴手稿及他創作時所用的桌椅至六月十日。

特展首席籌辦人沃納表示,狄更斯(Charles Dickens)是十九世紀文壇最重要的作家,他的影響力遍及全球,作品同時翻譯成歐洲多種語言,也翻譯成中文。

這個以「狄更斯和倫敦」為名的特展,倫敦博物館籌備二年,除了本身的收藏並向二十個單位借展,展出三百多件作品。

沃納說,特展裡不容錯過的是狄更斯使用過的桌椅,他在展出桌椅上完成《遠大前程》(Great Expectations)及《我們共同的朋友》(Our Mutual Friends)二部重要作品。

狄更斯勤於寫作,每天八時吃完早餐,巡視家中一切都安好,就到書房回覆一些重要信件,然後開始創作到午餐時間。

更難得的是,參觀者可以在展場看到狄更斯經典作品《荒涼山莊》(Bleak House)及《塊肉餘生》(David Copperfield)的手稿。

特展還安排狄更斯作品被改編的劇本,當時劇場的演員服裝,還有維多利亞女王時代當時倫敦樣貌的影片、畫作和物品,讓參觀者認識十九世紀時的倫敦城。

沃納說,狄更斯作品裡有不少對窮人的描寫,一方面是他對倫敦貧窮居民為生活的掙扎十分同情,另一方面,他也想透過作品喚起政府的重視,進而改善窮人的生活。
