The period detail is excellent, the acting superb, and the script remains faithful to the novel. Some really good bit actors, as well. The homosexual aspects are not overplayed, but come across as part of the 'real lives' of the characters, and help the narrative move forward. Visually a delight, the film takes us from stately mansions and period homes to a fleabag brothel in northern Africa. Highly recommended.
