Still Life: A Three Pines Mystery (2013)
Also disappointed

I was also disappointed with this movie adaptation of Louise Penney's Still Life. I love her books and have read them all - twice! I was especially disappointed with the way all the characters ages were lowered by about 20 years. I kept envisioning Michael Gambon (Dumbledore) as Gamache. Also, I see Meryl Streep as Clara, Richard Gere as Peter and Angela Lansbury as Ruth Zardo! To sum it up, This movie was badly cast and not the first class effort that the novel deserved. I hope a better version will be made eventually. I agree with many of you who wrote reviews that the actors should better represent the French-Canadian heritage of many of the characters. Here's hoping someone in Hollywood will take notice and do something about it!
