Movie Adaptations. Now extremely difficult to find, this adaptation is the only film adaptation of The Awakening to receive a theatrical release. Critics noted that despite some good performances, without Chopin’s narration, the characters lose some of their depth, making the film melodramatic.
The Awakening serves as a structural and thematic background for Robert Stone's 1986 novel Children of Light, in which an assortment of doomed characters, including an alcoholic writer and a mentally unstable actress, gather in Mexico to make a film of Chopin's novel.
