Wonderfully romantic

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 2007)

To me it seemed to more of 1870's Vienna. At essence is difference in class between Eisenheim and the royalty in Austria. A subplot might be the democratization of Austria. The power held by the crown prince is implicit. The castles, countryside and city cobblestone streets add to the mood. The lighting levels and tones are crafted to generate the air of mystery it so masterfully presents. The costume selections were great. There was even a green steam engine powered passenger train. The story line did not drag. I did need to go back to figure out a few details. I hope this movie is retained in the next round of format change.
