I have to say, I was dragged to see this one by my girlfriend and to say I was sceptical about it's likely entertainment value would be a considerable understatement. Unfortunately for my pride, this film completely blew me away.
I won't dwell on the story, as it is apparently very well known (except to heathens such as myself), but I do know that it did capute love and denial and sadness in a way I've never seen before.
The cinematography is also fantastic. Watch out especially for the dancing scenes in the ballroom and the horse racing.
If all period costume movies were like this, then I'd abandon Sci-Fi altogether!
