John Fowles - A lepkegyűjtő (2022)

Ferdinand, the butterfly collector, hits the jackpot, so he can add a new, more amazing specimen to his collection. Only this beauty of the collection is not a butterfly, but a girl: Miranda, the beautiful blonde painting student, whom the mad young man abducts with a crazy method and holds him captive in the basement of his secluded country house, which has been converted for this purpose. Moreover, for no other reason than to be able to enjoy it, like the butterflies, in its possession.
"It was as if I had caught a big blue ribbon or a Spanish fritillaria queen. By this I mean, it was something that you only succeed in once in your life, and it doesn't happen in any number of lives. We tend to only dream about such things, and neither do we we believe that one day we will actually achieve it," says Ferdinand. And Miranda writes this in her secret diary: "I'm just one specimen in a series. If I try to get out of line, then he hates me. He destined me to always be beautiful, always the same, stuck on a pin, dead. He knows very well that primarily life gives me my beauty, but it needs my dead self. This is what it wants: I am alive, but dead."
The story of the two of them living together for several months, which ended in tragedy - the first modern psychothriller, which is now considered a classic - was also a worldwide success on the movie screen.
