Nostromo Part 3

Nostromo, PBS Masterpiece Theater Miniseries based on the novel by Joseph Conrad. Part III .
This is a great production of the great fiction. I hope someday the TV series is available in DVD/Blue Ray format.

Fantastic series. A charming story with some ruthless truths.

Nostromo was a fabulous book. I read it in college in my favorite class ever.

Amazing adventure with Joseph Conrad! Always a search for the soul

Wiki says there are 4 episodes but i see only 3 here. Lean himself never read the complete novel because he always fell asleep

"This is a great production of the great fiction [sic]." You're half right.

[@steevsmith2792]

This is an interesting drama & production. The plot is overdramatized in many parts & heavily distorted in others. It has very little resemblance to Conrad's story, "Nostromo". A dramatization, certainly not, a representation.

Greed ruins the best of men! We all have it in various forms because it's such a necessary evil. In this life, we must learn to live contentedly. Few can accomplish true contentment.

I think if David Lean had made Nostromo as he planned to with Marlon Brando, Paul Scofield, Peter O'Toole, Isabella Rossellini, Christopher Lambert, Dennis Quaid and Georges Corraface it would have been a great film. Alas, Lean died before shooting began and it was never made. I have a copy of Conrad's book but have not read it. Those who are familiar with the text will probably enjoy this version while those who are not may lose interest and fall asleep as I did.

The Lean Estate gave the rights to Scorsese, but he was unable to interest any producers in Hollywood (!)

I"m sure that when Joseph Conrad wrote his book he had John Hurt in mind for the part of the Doctor.

[@coosoorlog]

he sure had a gift of foresight, that man

[@plekkchand]

Sure. And Kim Kardashian as Mrs. Gould.

dang!

Entire country populated by fools, yes men and greedy people. Even the village priest was a bit touched. Only Nostromo had any sense. He should have taken an ingot or two, left that crazy country and set up shop some place safe.
