I love Bartleby and this is the reason to see this adaptation of the gem by Melville with serious simpaty.
Because it is not easy to create a proper portrait of the main character and the reasonable solution is only to use a large dose of subjectivity, proposing only your Bartleby. In this case, the result is just a meritous good point, John McEnery suggesting a state not so eccentric of a man refuged under the indifference veil, with, maybe, too clear perspective about life.
The compensation - the accountant , proposed by Paul Scofield. And the clever atmosphere of 1970 ' s.
In short, a seductive adaptation. And a fair portrait of a state of soul.
