Surprised that this film seems so Nineties now


Films really have changed. This style as seen in other films like Shakespeare in Love or Casanova we don't really see much any more.

I miss this style of historical drama. I really do.

reply

Yes, agreed.
Wonder if it can ever come back... perhaps people who came of age during this time will become directors and start making them again.

I am watching it now, and really enjoying the costumes and setting! I am sure a few movies are made like this if they have the budget today.

reply

Not sure. Seems like every movie now has to have "man" in the title.

reply

It makes me feel old realizing that before you know it, the movie will be 30 years old! I was a young girl then. I first saw bits of the film a few years with a late friend/ neighbor. I am watching the entire film now.

reply

Yah... good you get a chance to watch it at last!

reply

I enjoyed it.

reply

Cool. What did you give it? We decided 8/10 on IMDb.

reply

I would rate it a 7.

reply

IT'S BAD...I DONT KNOW ABOUT NINETIES...BUT IT IS FAIRLY AWFUL.

It's not so much 90s at it is IMPing the Merchant-Ivory school of costume melodramas. There were a lot of them in that decade but weren't just from that decade.
