A very colorful movie!!!

Rating: 7/10 (6 May 1999)

A very very colorful and rich movie...really incredible costumes!!! But...I expected more of a Oscar winning movie...The movie is beautifully made, look at the camera work, costumes, locations..!! The story of this movie isn't very fascinating...the first half of the movie, I even found it quite boring..but I enjoyed the richness of the movie itself. There was absolutely no depth in the story and although it might be a comedy...I don't reckon it as a comedy..the story is too shallow to really get involved too predictable. Gwyneth Paltrow really looks stunning and has a perfect classical and historical face..her performance was really warm-hearted and appealing. Joseph Fiennes performance was very inspiring, but Geoffrey Rush was most fun and in my eyes stole the show!!!
