The Metamorphosis - A Study: Nabokov on Kafka (1989) Christopher Plummer Part 3

Forgot to say his accent sounds a little French listen to any video of him speaking in English.

I can't praise this highly enough, Christopher Plummer is one of our greatest actors,I defy anyone to know its him without being told.

So what i just watched was almost a half hour of an actor badly impersonating the genius Vladimir Nabokov and giving him a French accent to read an abridged version of The Metamorphosis of Kafka (Which Nabokov referred to as "The Transformation", BTW) for almost the entirety of the proceedings... Why? The only piece worth watching was on this video (part 3) from 7.00 - 7.50. Which only ended by the miraculous ringing of the bell... But my god! Those 50 seconds were worth it....????????
