set in turn-of-the-century england and italy, the film is an exquisite exploration of what it means to follow one's heart. the main character is miss lucy honeychurch, played by the lovely helena bonham carter! back before she started dressing like she actually is bellatrix lestrange. of course. the scenery is fantastic, the cinematography lovely, and the script is in turns romantic and quietly comedic. and, since it is a merchant ivory film, the costuming is gorgeous! all in all, a marvelous film. i highly reccommend it.
WARNING: that contains brief, full frontal male nudity. it's actually one of the funnier parts of the movie, but that's there. just saying.
in addition, the film also contains one of my most favorite songs ever! of the classical variety, anyway. how perfect.
ahhhh. lovely.
cheers,
emma
