Beautifully produced with amazing scenes of old Venice, an orchestral score, nice costumes, and attractive actors, this film is certainly worth watching. Some of the dialog is borrowed from real historical manuscripts, and the poetry is worth re-winding to hear again. But, somehow it just doesn't add up. This film carries it's message on it's sleeve, and it's not quite in synch with the period. While boldly promoting a feminist perspective, the film comes off more as soft core porn. The female lead (Catherine McCormack) is exceptional. See it, and think of how good it could have been.
