A film which features stunning use of photography, rich colours and excellent locations. The film relies on the beauty of the locations rather than the characters which I found to be under-written.
The film's erotic scenes are nicely done, they are not steamy, but very enjoyable.
The screenplay is a major disappointment, the characters are underwritten, and certain sequences are thinly executed, at times, there is no depth to scenes.
I don't know how accurate 16th century is represented in this picture, but I have my suspicions!
The direction is nice, but really required a screenplay to make the film work.
The performances are good, but I didn't think they were great.
Overall, a disappointing screenplay, which never gives depth to the characters. A bit pretentious!
