Vladimir Nabokov - The Metamorphosis (Part II)

does anyone know where the 3rd part is?

THIS IS NOT NABOKOV

if you watch part one is tells you the actor's name.

For the people questioning the French accent and the baffling anti-American comment from Mogura87 about not recognizing a british accent, if you look on youtube for the clip of Nabokov talking about "Lolita" from the CBC, you will hear that there is a definite French tinge to his accent;.he would seem to have been a man of many colliding accents, international intellectual as he was.

this is pathetic!!! if Kafka would see this he would suffer!

Sounds like Russian-tinged English to me. And I'm not inclined to question a performance by Christopher Plummer. Even if he is Canadian.....

I'd rather call that accent an unusually stilted variant of "stiff upper lip"-British English (aka BBC English), but maybe that's just me. At any rate I think the actor does a good job at imitating Nabokov's accent.

Yeah, why is Nabokov French here?

I hate to be haughty, toReasonWhy, but I do think the question rather is "why are Americans like you so ignorant of anything non-American that you'd mistake a British accent for a French one?".

Aww! Don't worry, you didn't succeed at being haughty, only pissy, although I just know you wouldn't truly have hated it if you had! -- you're just another of the many interneters who think it's somehow productive to insult other interneters.

I know what English-speaking native French speakers sound like, thanks. Even if you're claiming that this is an accurate presentation of a Russian speaking british-influenced english, your ad hominem betrays your intellectual weakness. Fuck off.
