Among these 141 film adaptations, there are both cinematic masters like Ingmar Bergman, Federico Fellini, Andrey Tarkovsky, Fran?ois Truffaut, Louis Malle, the Taviani Brothers, Vittorio De Sica, Luis Bu?uel, Ken Loach, Krzysztof Kie?lowski, Ray (Satyajit Ray), Abbas Kiarostami, Bahman Farmanara, Nagisa Oshima, Takeshi Kitano, and Hou Hsiao-hsien, as well as ordinary directors skilled in filming coming-of-age stories. It also includes some newcomers, such as the Iranian actress Samira Makhmalbaf, who directed the film Apple at the young age of 18. In terms of structure, each entry is divided into two parts: Part "Plot," which introduces the film's storyline, and Part "Brief Review," which offers a concise critique of the movie. Each film is accompanied by a DVD cover of its respective version, making it easier for interested friends to search for related DVDs.
