“High Fidelity” has the space and time to fully explore the implications of gender differences
HOLLYWOOD HAS a penchant for exploiting existing intellectual property. It also seems keen to improve its poor record on the number of female actors getting top roles and working behind the camera. As if to tick both boxes, a number of gender-swapped remakes have been released in recent years, from “Ghostbusters” to “What Men Want”. They usually hew closely to the source material, inserting a few quips about male chauvinism or some hunky sidekicks for good measure.
The decision to rewrite “High Fidelity” as a television series, starring Zoe Kravitz as Rob , is an intriguing one. Many of the basic details—and most famous scenes—are the same. Rob is still a record-store owner, now in Brooklyn, New York. She is full of regrets about the demise of her engagement to a handsome Englishman , but goes on a few dates with an ordinary chap who she thinks is too nice for her and enjoys a flirtation with a handsome but very young rock star .
