Movie ReviewsOne viewer's opinion O. Elmore | Louisiana USA | 05/02/2008 (1 out of 5 stars) "For me, Faulkner's gretest books - his most honestly hopeful, structurally complete, and stylistically genius works - were The Wild Palms, The Unvanquished, The Hamlet, and Go Down, Moses. All of these are ignored by this video. Instead the video (a recycled 80's vaguely European hash) skips from the dreary to the hopeless to the minor; the amount of time spent on the potboiler Sanctuary is one example. I am still waiting for a documentarian who sees the stereoptic whole of Faulkner and celebrates his place in our literature. Do the future of Faulkner study a favor and skip this one, especially if you're a teacher looking for help for your class. You'd be better off feeling your way through with your students than you would be turning to this rubbish for aid."
