breath

Film "Overall, Chris Columbus has done a marvellous job. Cutting songs and reworking some lyrics into dialogue works surprisingly well. For anyone as familiar with the stage show as I am, it takes a little getting used to - but I don't think it detracts from the experience. And it certainly doesn't feel like a compromising of the work - just a simple tweak for the medium." -- Keith Gow's heartwarmingly positive review of the new film version of Rent.

Not having had a chance to see the stage show this is going to be my 'in' and I'm pleased to know this is a sensitive adaptation. If the worse thing you can say about something is that the cgi breath is wrong, there must be something right.
