Great script and actors portraying the emotion

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2016)

This may be one of my favourite love tragedies. The script is just wonderful - a classic story, a woman is married to a stranger into a foreign land and the only thing she has is not her voice, it's her music. The combination of art and romance and tragedy makes me wonder, doesn't this portray the usual life of women in the past? Being sold off to men who couldn't care less about them, but just care that their wife is their property, not to be touched or seen, not a real human with real feelings. I think that this is a story of finding yourself, of finding what really life has planned for you, it teaches that is is okay to change ones mind - only if it is not too late to do so. This story is about great misery, but also great love - the kind that prevails everything, makes that same misery disappear and makes you see just how happy you can be even when something seems to be missing from you (literally). This film keeps you on your toes, makes you wonder and fantasize about what is going to happen next, and when it happens you think - I couldn't have been more wrong.
