An unfortunate film. What could have been an engaging and scenic period-drama was ultimately ruined by bad story telling. Based on a true story, perhaps the film-makers were just too familiar with the subject material, and got lost sketching a field of mere junctures, only hinting at the stories and personalities beyond. The film lacks the zest of surrealism to excuse the, frankly, bizarre choices made by the characters.
