What's the point of taking McCarthy's words and flattening them.
The whole point of McCarthy is how he conjours - take this for example:
" He walked out in the gray light and stood and he saw for a brief moment the absolute truth of the world. The cold relentless circling of the intestate earth. Darkness implacable. The blind dogs of the sun in their running. The crushing black vacuum of the universe. And somewhere two hunted animals trembling like ground-foxes in their cover. Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it."
Beautiful, yes, but also on reflection - what the actual fvck are you on about Cormac?
How do you translate that to pictures? To film?
You can't.
That says Larcenet has created something beautiful and so so bleak and sad and brutal.
Yes there are cannibals, zombies. Larcenet has done something quite wonderful.
Now he's on a roll maybe he could draw The Crossing Book One?
As an aside, I have not read The Road (the original) yet, so I can't speak to whether or not this is a good adaptation.
