| description | The Turn of the Screw by Henry James has inspired the most various critical debates for over a century. What is hidden in the folds of the story?

This feeling of absence and uncertainty, that characterizes the story, developed trough the contribution of readers and critics and it found a further still precious echo in The Innocents, a film directed by Jack Clayton in 1961. |
