The praise that ‘El cuento de la criada’ (‘The Handmaid’s Tale’), the Hulu television series broadcast in Spain on HBO Max, has received is incessant. And it is not for less: this feminist parable in terrifying dystopia format<\/strong> (because of how familiar it feels) does an extraordinary job adapting the novel from Margaret Atwood<\/strong> of 1985 faithfully and coherently with the television format.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is not so well known is that the book was already adapted into a 1990 film, ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’<\/strong> (‘The Handmaid’s Tale’), with great ambition but very limited impact. The feature film, although faithful to the letter and to the story, had no choice but to compress into an hour and a half a very complex narrative based primarily on the protagonist’s impressions. The result is valuable as a complement to the book<\/strong>but limps in essential aspects.<\/p>\n
