Saw "The Door In the Floor" last night. The movie covers the first third of John Irving's novel "A Widow For One Year". Being more tightly focused it's a better adaptation of Irving's work than some others and allows for deeper character development. His books usually cover many, many years and include myriad strange characters. This adaptation covers part of one summer and the three characters are beautifully expressed. I think I'll go back and read the book again although I was luke-warm about it when I first read it a number of years ago in Paris.
