Oh indeed, the filming was gorgeous. The pretty fields, flowers, pretty costumes, beautiful interiors - 5 stars. The movie? not so much. If you love poetry and specifically this guys poetry then you might like it a lot. I love movies that take place during other periods and never miss the ones that come on pbs. I just could not like this movie.
I formed no attachments or connections with the characters so when they were hurting or crying I was sitting in the theater rolling my eyes. I did not cry, I did not laugh, I did not get angry, I did not get any type of emotional stimulation from this movie. Actually, I got a tinkling from the character in the movie who was supposed to be the least liked but that's it.
