Atonement
What happens when you’re young and you do something but don’t fully understand the far-reaching ramifications. That and how we atone for our sins is what drives the story in Atonement by Ian McEwan. If you love beautiful language and unforgettable characters, this is a must-read.
The book gives you beautiful words, the movie gives you beautiful images. Atonement was nominated for seven Academy Awards (including Best Picture) in 2007. Atonement won an Academy Award for Best Original Score.
One of my favourite films by far! Have the book too, but read it after watching the film and it just didn’t have the same impact.
The film is so visually beautiful, and I think it truly captures the story and emotion so well.
Oh, I agree! It was a beautiful story!
