Vanessa Redgrave, Joely Richardson, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers in The Aspern Papers (2018)
Based on Henry James 1888 novella and set in the late 19th Century, The Aspern Papers tells of Morton Vint (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) an ambitious American editor obsessed with the late Romantic poet Jeffrey Aspern. Determined to obtain the letters Aspern wrote to his lover and muse Juliana (Vanessa Redgrave) years earlier, the editor travels to Venice and meets Juliana and her quiet niece, Miss Tina (Joely Richardson), in their grand but dilapidated palazzo. Assuming a false identity and initially concealing his true intentions, the editor ultimately charms the niece into helping him with his obsession. But when the she presents him with a condition he cant accept, the future of the papers and the mysteries they contain hang in the balance.

    A waste of Vanessa Redgrave's talent
    Had high expectations but few minutes through the film I knew, it's a waste of time in spite of Vanessa Redgrave in it. The lead male act is a disaster. I think he's trying so hard, he sounds and acts like a robot.
