the most underrated film on this website

Rating: 9/10 (10 July 2005)

One cannot even begin to describe the impact of this film in terms of cinematic excellence. In every department from costume, score, set design and of course acting and the wonderful script, I was entranced. As a lover of period pieces and classical music this movie had everything I wanted from romance, intrigue and yes "unbridled enthusiasm". I cannot understand how a movie such as this listed in IMDb's top 250, didn't place this film in the top 20 for all its creative and imaginative work. If one could guarantee enjoyment from watching a film this would be my pick. I have never felt the range of emotions from a movie that lasted well beyond the following days.
