Distasteful polished period drama

Rating: 8/10 (13 October 2019)

Saw this again tonight, still the distasteful polished period piece I remember. Being one of the earliest new films portraying that era. it seems a bit stagy today. Same depressing downbeat story similar to "Farewell My Lovely" of the ultra decadent white upper class for which we are all invited to show our disdain for. Not sure if that is the right message, but the filmmakers love it. I am not that impressed by it. By killing off the heroin they blew any chances of making a good sequel.
