Under much duress from friends, I finally read this book a couple of years ago and, loathe as I am to admit they were right, I loved it. After being burned before with adaptations of books I loved, I then avoided the film. Again, these so-called friends told me that I would love the film. Again, they were right (I'm beginning not to like them, how dare they know me so well).
Memoirs is a stunning adaptation of the book. It sticks fairly faithfully to the story and adds striking visuals to the plot. This film is worth watching purely for it's beautiful cinematography.
