I don't remember whether the tooth scene was in the book, but I have to say that the movie is a must-see for that scene alone.

Pretty much exactly how I imagined it would be when reading the book. Seems to be very accurate but it has been a while since I read it.

A very well shot interpretation of the book. The ending of the book is unfilmable, but the attempt here was pretty much as close as you can get--though long lengths of dialog are harder to follow than reading it in text, and also had to be shortened. With this movie being shot during the time period the book was to be set in, the Eurythmics score, and Roger Deakon's cinematography, a good homage. --PolarisDiB

The dark, desaturated visual style, dark and rusted scenery combined with John Hurt's convincing performance make this film a brilliant adaptation of George Orwell's unsettling and influential novel.

Surprisingly good, and sadly underrated, take on George Orwell's seminal novel. great cinematography and art design. superbly played by John Hurt and Richard Burton, in his last screen role.
