    admirable work
    first, for the story who seems be a poem about vulnerabilities. than, for admirable performances. and for the great science of detail and for the lights who become second skin for each actor. a film about management of past. soft, nostalgic, seductive, bitter. about the war between two women for a man. a film in which each character is more than a presence but word from the experiences of the viewer. a special film. for the atmosphere and for the great art. for landscapes like translations of the states of the characters and for remarkable Glenda Jackson. for the science of exploration the nuances who define characters and impose each of them as the hero. a film who propose the dreamed Eangland from a lost age.
