Victorian era Romance That Will Rip Your Heart Out
27 July 2004
Richly detailed Victorian era Romance. I was utterly entranced. Sophie Marceau and Stephen Dillane are superb. Their chemistry is intoxicating and their performances mesmerizing.

The longing Elisabeth and Charles feel for one another will make your heart ache. The strict, unforgiving moral code of the time is a recurring theme and well executed. The musical score blends beautifully with the story. The love story draws you in and won't let go. The ending is satisfying and believable. English manor life in 1838 is exquisitely portrayed. For fans of Period Romance films, this is first rate. William Nicholson (Gladiator) wrote and directed.
