Yorgos Lanthimos adapted the book into a surreal visual feast, but the result is still a man telling a woman’s story of empowerment. Does it still work? In episode 302, Laura from the “Why the Book Wins” YouTube channel joins Luke & James to talk about the changes from Alasdair Gray’s book, Emma Stone’s Oscar-worthy performance, and how altering the ending influences the story’s final message. Then they each cast their vote on which was better: the book or the movie! References
