Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca by Charles Bryant

[TheMajaaristo]

I love this. Thank you for putting this up. It's beautiful, dark and captures all the essence of the novel and the film.. This is my favorite novel and film.

I just wrote a dark gothic romance novel myself.

Again, many thanks.

i love this novel

[silentnightjbj]

is there a continuation to this novel? it looks like there should be a sequel because...well..manderley burned up...right? it reallly looks like this must continue.

[brychar66]

No, it ended there. In fact, the ending of the novel is very very abrupt, almost like a slap in the face :)

There's a sequel called "Mrs. de Winter" written by a different author

Your videos are always an education to watch, not to mention a real pleasure. Great clip full of mystery and tension.

...And it all went up in flames!! How sad! Thanks for your thoughts Charles. Sam.

sorry, i'm all lost here... the videoclip, is it from a movie based on the book rebecca?? and you yourself wrote the poem out of inspiration, am i right? i love everything about this clip, by the way, it started me on a feeling, except i dont know anything about Rebecca =/

[brychar66]

the poem is by me, the film is by Hitchcock. you can watch the whole film on You Tube - it's great! the novel is by Daphne du Maurier.

Mrs. Danvers emerging from the shadows of her Mistress Rebecca's bed chamber...it doesn't get much more spooky than that.

Your words and the imagery are a perfect coupling...Wonderful!

[brychar66]

Thanks Marc. Was just looking at your website. 'Misty view of the Canopus at Tivoli' is great, so atmospheric. Did you take it yourself?

[6celery8]

Thanks for visiting my page. I'm afraid that I've never been to Tivoli...someday maybe.

Wonderful.

And the exquisitely superb word "psychopomp" has been added to the Canon of Fabulosity.

Yes, I love it too. I originally found it in a volume of Jung, years & years ago. I later used it in this line:

"Hermes Psychopompus, guide of souls"

- which has a magnificent ring to it! I rather think Milton would have enjoyed that :)

[algabal]

Oh, this is wonderful! So interesting to see you branch out into contemporary popular culture. Mrs. Danvers is for me the true hero of Rebecca, the only one who attains absolution.

And I must also comment on your video production skills, which have become really quite advanced, embracing the full aesthetic experience. Bless you, poet.

[brychar66]

Your approval always gives me a big lift Dominic. I quite understand your feeling about Mrs Danvers. Thanks, Friend ;)

You're so spot on, Charles. So often authors deemed as "popular" don't get enough credit for the true enlightenment inherent in their work. We see that with some authors today as well. Lovely poem. Stirring presentation. (How about those windows?!) Thanks so much.

[brychar66]

They don't make sets like that any more, do they Gary :) It's a super film.

[1zangelique]

Indeed, and the rendering of the scene, with Mrs. Danvers as a window herself, right down to her billowy, curtain--like dress, with her illuminating dark truths brilliantly, like your poem, Charles. Great stuff, sir! I look forward to your works like a kid in summer waiting for the ice cream truck! Love, Gary

Just like a dream very heart warming.Thanks.
