D'Artacán y los tres mosqueperros (2021)
Really interesting adaptation
I really enjoyed that they kept the main storyline and premise, yet reinvigorated the characters (especially the portrayal of Juliette). I expected to be somewhat bored because I knew the series of by heart as a child. However, through some clever twists and turns, I was pleasantly surprised.
Mary Queen of Scots (2018)
The "myth" of historical accuracy
Many of the reviewers that condemn the film because of its "lack of historical accuracy" still subscribe to "the myth of historical objectivity and feel threatened by the blurring of distinctions between "fiction and non-fiction". This statement comes from Anne-Marie Scholz' scholarly work: "From Fidelity to History: Film Adaptations as cultural events in the twentieth century" (New York, Berghan). Others such as Robert Rosenstone, Robert Burgyone and Marcia Landy have also written extensively on the topic. Do yourself a favour by researching how "factually correct" the works of earlier historians were - and if it was not based on the writings of the powerful elite.
