Best Design and Costume you will see this year

Rating: 8/10 (3 June 2013)

The story is nice and simple; hence if you are going in for the narrative, then please don't expect much. Whereas the production and costume designs are spectacular, making you want to live in the 1920's.
The film is sheer elegance filled with excellent talent from end to end. It felt like a pop-up book of fairy tales when I was a kid who made me want to live in the times and immerse myself in their lives. Therefore if a film can place me into its fictional world, then I see it as a job well done.
What I am trying to say is to watch this film to appreciate colors, design, special effects, production design, and costume design. Credit goes to Catherine Martin who is brilliant at what she does, and who would have thought that the film was shot in studios in Sydney, Australia.
Note: do yourself a favor and listen to the soundtrack!
My score - 8 out of 10
