John Fowles, one of the most prominent British authors of modernism/postmodernism. Title (Brazil): 'O Colecionador' ('The Collector') Note: On, I saw this movie again, now on an imported Blu- Ray. It takes a significat place in the work of. Surprisingly 'The Collector' has only been released in Brazil in a rare VHS, a pride and joy of my collection. I can not precisely tell how many times I have watched this film, but the last time I had seen it was on 07 October 2000. The performances of Terence Stamp and Samantha Eggar are top-notch in this theatrical film and they succeed to carry alone the whole story. 'The Collector' is another masterpiece of William Wyler that has been copycatted along the years by filmmakers that presently add violence, torture and gore to the plot. John Robert Fowles (/ f a l z / 31 March 1926 5 November 2005) was an English novelist of international renown, critically positioned between modernism and postmodernism. Fowles can be hard to figure out, but late 20th-century fiction can be a challenge in general in a society less inclined to support without question the prejudices of the past its tough to know whether an author is satirizing broadly-held social beliefs, or supporting them. However, Miranda feels that she is another collectible species only for the deranged man that feels power and control with the situation and he has no intention to let her go. He shows also his collection of butterflies carefully kept in a room. Freddie promises to respect Miranda with his platonic love and to release her in a month on June, 11th. The sociopath Freddie locks Miranda in the cellar and she discovers that he has had an unrequited crush on her since they were teenagers. He stalks the art student Miranda Grey (Samantha Eggar) in London and uses chloroform to kidnap and bring her in his van to his house.

After winning a large amount in the pool in Reading, the outcast bank clerk and entomologist Freddie Clegg (Terence Stamp) buys an isolated house in the countryside.
