Another McEwan novel comes alive

If they could film Atonement and now Chesil Beach (/hyper happiness), they can do something of Sebald's. Particularly this. And I'd like Hoffman (as in Dustin) or Von Sydow to play Jacques, although it always ends up being Hopkins. Why? I'm biased, as my college thesis revolved around this novel, but as I earned the top score of that year for my dissection, I'm sure there are others who can easily explain that it's not just a confusing story with too many flashbacks, obscure references and very little indentation.
