Style over substance!!

Rating: 2/10 (10 March 2019)

While the costumes and sets were truly opulent and grand I felt the movie lacked in any coherent structure and authenticity. Movie making has moved on in recent years away from the gaudy Ken Russell offerings of the 70s. In recent years directors find more intelligent taciturn and tasteful ways of illustrating intimacy and passion on screen which is why I failed to understand the gratuitous and unnecessary nude and same sex scenes.
