A tale of virtue.

Rating: 7/10 (22 January 2006)

Another Kubrick, another abstract well directed movie. This movie seems to transmit the message that aristocracy does not guarantee happiness. In fact, this 18th century story seems to reflect a problem very present in our 21st century society. To quote Notorious B.I.G. who says ''Mo' money, Mo' problem. It seems this movie reflects this train of thought very well. Furthermore, this picture gives a great general idea of the aristocrat hierarchy during the Age of enlightenment. Grosso Modo, this movie is well acted, well directed and representative of the historical dynamic of the 18th century. This film is recommended to those of you who love the historical details in movies.
