Description: A meditation on the processes of literary adaptation in cinema/television, focusing on a key moment in Todd Haynes's 2011 miniseries 'Mildred Pierce' in which Kate Winslet as Mildred kisses Evan Rachel Wood as her daughter Veda on the mouth while she is sleeping. An extract from James M. Cain's novel scrolls over Haynes's images to point up differences between them.
