We’ve began watching Fiona Seres’ adaptation of Wilkie Collins’ The Woman in White again. I feel completely different about it a second time. As P seems to do also. I am seeing, noticing things I didn’t the first time. It is luscious. And the actor playing Count Fosco has me completely in his thrall. His features are full, his face is overripe, gone but still so beguiling. And his use and pronunciation of English is equally over….over what, over done. He laps up the word, a cat with cream. A dangerous character, a dangerous face. I love it. We take our time….
