This movie is deceptive- the costumes stunning, the actors both subdued and hard to read. Yet the story is brought out in such subtle ways that when the sordid secret is revealed it makes sense. I wish the main character had been a little less subdued, but the woman all plays their parts remarkably well. Most of all this is a film about intricate ways of man, both as an animal and an intellect.
