Not everyone can be Merchant and Ivory, too bad this team didn't realize this. It took 2 tries to even get through it... I walked out of the theater on first viewing. Well the second wasn't much better. So much waisted talent, source material, set design. I do blame the director. This is an absolute mess! Even the characters are forgettable, the scenes far too long, the pace horrible slow. I'm trying to write enough lines to get this review in, but what is there to say, its just a bad film all the way around. a bad film a good story but a bad film. Don't waste your time. Seek another film of this period to enjoy.
