Glenda Young
A fantastic, well crafted, cinematic English translation in which the dialogue is mainly of Shakespearean origin. The plot explores the themes of antisemitism, the value of life, revenge, bitterness, and the nature of justice and it's distinction from revenge.
Pete The Meat
I watched halfway so far and I definitely recommend reading the book. The book is a good read and more entertaining.
I'll let you know more when the movie is finished.
