Is there such a thing as an unfilmable novel? Anh Hùng Trần's "Norwegian Wood", Francis Ford Coppola's "Apocalypse Now, and David Lynch's "Dune" - LPH009

Update: 2019-05-25

Description

On this episode, we ask if there's such a thing as an unfilmable novel. Are some projects just too complex, expensive or controversial to adapt? We examine three movies based on supposedly unfilmable source material: Norwegian Wood, adapted from the book by Haruki Murakami, Apocalypse Now, based on Joseph Conrad's novella, and Dune, adapted from the books by Frank Herbert.

Contains mild spoilers.
