"Dangerous Beauty" brought me back to Life!It inspired me emotionally and physically.(I lost over 30lbs.walking/listening to the film's score everyday.)The film has excellent production values: wonderful sets & exquisite costumes; fabulous golden Rembrandt lighting; dreamy soft focus cinematography; gorgeous actors,(Rufus Sewell, with a voice that makes you melt & eyes that speak volumes even when he is silent,in the role of Marco, shows great acting range,from carefree playboy to mature man in love.Catherine McCormick portrays Veronica as a jilted lover who becomes an assertive courtesan, yet never loses her soft side.She has the face of supermodel Paulina Herzigova/Audrey Hepburn.)These actors share the most convincing chemistry as lovers that I've seen in years. And the piece de resistance of Dangerous Beauty is the most passionate music in the world by George Fenton(this should win him his long-awaited Oscar.)The movie blends comedy, romance, swordfights, poetry, sex, the plague/Inquisition, and self-sacrifice.It makes you long for such "a soulmate love" as this. (That's why I saw "D.B." 33 times in the theater! Yes,I did! It was MY "Titanic / Gone with the Wind / Casablanca".) The director, Marshall Herskovitz,(of Legends Of the Fall) created a world that I loved to visit.The movie reminded me that I was still a "Dangerous Beauty" myself. If you want your sweetheart to get "in the mood",then watch D.B. together and listen to the filmscore afterwards as the soundtrack for your own grande amour.Never before has a movie impacted my life like this one did. May it do the same for you.
