Query: an excellent update on the classic tale

polanski's characters resonate a faithful depiction of the dickens text. in this "twist", the characters are exactly as one imagines them to be in the book, come to life! succeeds beautifully with set, costume, photography, and editing. any dickens book in 2 hours has to be a huge challenge, but is very nicely done here. i am so thrilled this movie was made...it's the new definitive version. i'd love to see what polanski could do with "the pickwick papers".
