Having read the Dickens' classic several months ago, I wanted to follow up with a BBC production of Bleak House. There are more than one, but this one is the latest, and it was available at my library. It is superbly done! Following BBC tradition, it is true to Dickens' story; and the acting is sublime! The presentation was originally a TV mini-series; it has been adapted to DVD for home viewing. It's roughly 7.5 hours long, and I enjoyed every minute.

Highly recommended!

TV series. Not as good as the book.

Li Dickens razoavelmente, e este foi o mais difícil. É a saga dickensiana definitiva, cheia de intriga, complicadas reviravoltas anedóticas e um séquito de personagens de todas as classes sociais e perfis psicológicos. Mas são demasiadas personagens e histórias para acompanhar. (Costumo chamar isto de a Pré-Síndrome de Game of Thrones) A visão subjacente do sistema jurídico britânico e suas falhas é notável. Mas, em matéria de CD, preferi Nickleby, Oliver, Hard times, Pip, show more Scrooge etc show less
