The 2000 miniseries gets a lot of flack, but I love it. It's well-written, acted, directed, and, in particular, remarkably costumed. I agree the the novel is inherently difficult to adapt. For similar reasons, my favorite novel, Shardik, would be almost impossible to translate to the screen. So much of it consists of internal dialogue and exposition.
