Like many others, I often feel that the book version of a story is better than the movie. I began to read Sarah’s Key months ago and was intensely drawn in. More recently I saw the movie, which is a French language foreign movie. I greatly enjoyed the movie and while it did stray from the book in areas, I fee that it had appropriate adaptations for the big screen. There are certain elements of stories that don’t translate well and time frames that have to be shortened and condensed. The movie did a nice job in capturing the essence of the book. My advice would of course to be to read the book, but in this case I don’t think you could go wrong if you went with just the movie instead.
