LiteraturfensterLiteraturverfilmungen im VisierNicht immer sind Literaturverfilmungen so aufregend wie Jane Campions «The Power of the Dog» und Rebecca Halls «Passing». Die beiden Netflix-Produktionen basieren auf fast vergessenen Romanen und machen gesellschaftliche Gräben in den USA der 1920er Jahre transparent für die Gegenwart.
