A masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2013)

A more well-crafted, better acted, more intense political drama I must never hope to see! Besides the principles, this entire ensemble of actors is each so memorable in every single scene. The script writing is luxurious with contemporary figures of speech and anecdotal narratives that create the richest tapestry of period drama ever put on a cinematic screen!
My profoundest apologies to those reviewers here who found the film boring. I fear that they shamelessly unclothe their own ignorance and immaturity, and are in need of schooling and growing up. Otherwise, they should just remain silent when faced with such an experience that is ostensibly beyond their powers of comprehension.
This film is an unmitigated classic for now and ever. A unique gem that sparkles from its flawless, antique setting.
