What is intended here is a critical reading of Anthony Minghella's grandiose film in search of patterns of transformation and strategies of adaptation. 1 Any attempt at a line-by-line comparison and critique of an adaptation does not make much sense, for it would be asking the film to do what the novel has done already, almost like Borges 'ideal' translator of Don Quixote (see Bassnett 1997).
