The first 40 mins was very strange to watch, it's of it's time period when it was filmed. The dialog and sex scenes were a bit awkward to watch at times. However, it did get interesting in the last half hour, these areas of the storyline have potential. It could be adapted really well into a modern mini series/ film, (with less of the stranger interactions/acting and more development on the relationships between all characters). We see depth in the woman's background but not much for either of the protagonists personalities until the last 15 mins.
I wish more of the story was developed through the writing and cinematography, like perhaps what the servants thought of them, and what resulted of the second love interest.
