Children Of MenIs A Brilliant Adaptation of P.D. James’ Book

Yesterday , fabled crime novelist P.D. James passed away , at the incredible years of 94 . The ‘ Queen of Crime ’ might ’ve been well experience for her writing , but this 2006 adaptation of James ’ novel captures everything that ’s great about her penning .

Children of Men did n’t get the widest megahit passing , but that does n’t stop it from being one of my top sci - fi films . It takes place in 2027 , when the human race is facing extinction from infertility , and Britain is allow for as the only function country in the world . It ’s equal section game and cunning , with a tight - knit plot and good playacting keeping thing moving along .

It ’s certainly a fitting tribute to James ’ work — and while you should definitely add one of her novel to your groaning reading lean ( I ’d suggestCover Her Face ) , the hour - forty andthree bucksyou’ll spend on Children of Men is a pretty near start .
