To Kill a Mockingbird
(Robert Mulligan, USA 1962, 149’)
Mulligan’s classic adaptation of Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is set in the racially charged atmosphere of 1930s Alabama. Six-year-old Scout and her ten-year-old brother Jem live a carefree existence with their widowed father, Atticus Finch, a respected attorney.
But when Atticus agrees to defend a black man accused of raping a white woman, the children are pulled out of their insulated world. During this troubled period, Scout continues to indulge her fascination with Boo Radley, a reclusive neighbour who is said to be mentally deranged and is never seen outdoors. This shadowy character soon comes to play a major part in the lives of the children.
