My husband, on the other hand, was particularly impressed by the film's dedication to historical accuracy, evident in the detailed costumes and authentic set designs. This movie provides a wealth of discussion topics, thanks to its rich array of subthemes including technological progress, the evolution of women's rights, psychological intricacies, and the nuances of crime investigation. Beyond its compelling narrative, the film stands out for its artistic cinematography. It possesses a unique, tranquil quality, juxtaposed with the stunning beauty of its landscapes, which adds depth to the visual experience. The way the film weaves tension through various layers of the story, from subtle interpersonal dynamics to overarching societal conflicts, contributes to an immersive and thought-provoking viewing experience.
