What I enjoyed about this version of A Christmas Carol is that it unbound the 'story' from decades of interpretation and returned it to our imaginations. The scenes were as dreams, fantastic and improbable. The viewer was immersed into the film as a reader of the novella should be. The identity of the actors was irrelevant, serving only as calling cards for the turnstiles. The film left me eager to reread this classic, realizing too that after more than 160 Christmases past, the story needs to be continually retold and revisited. What is your favourite Christmas story?
