Beautiful, yet something missing ......

This beautiful period piece is breathtaking to view and listen to with a beautiful score, but I left the theater wanting more out of the experience.
In my opinion the film's major disappointment came from the lack of story telling. The film came off more as a montage of beautifully shot scenes with little dialouge to move the story along. This made me not care as much about the characters and their development throughout the film. The cinematography was amazing, but the editing and direction I felt didn't live up to what could have been a magical film about love, obession, beauty and art. |
