Draglift,
we're going slightly off-thread here, but I'd guess the nearest one gets to a film of ' Pastoral ' would be ' The Way To The Stars ' ?
My personal choice would be Requiem For A Wren.
I completely agree film-makers would be better off trying to film untried classics, instead of re-makes where they can only lose !
It would take a very gifted team of Director, Producer & Actors ( not to mention effects people ) to capture the spirit of N.S.'s writing, don't even know if it's possible...
