I’ve been re-reading this gem of a book—it comes highly recommended, btw—and amusing myself by casting actors for the movie version in my head. Read it, then revisit and tell me what you think.
Ruso: Eric Bana

Valens: Jude Law (smarmy!)

Tilla: Claire Danes

Priscus: Tom Hollander (who else can you imagine painting his head but Mr. Collins?)

There! Perfect! Someone make this, please.
