Graphic but a good watch
The one thing no one ever told me about this movie when recommending it was how visually graphic it is. Like Trainspotting or Quills, it has moments that turn the stomach. But it's extremely well done. The performances (with the notable exception of Liv Tyler, who is vacant eyed and vapid) are solid and believable. Robert Carlyle and Alan Cummings stand out for me, as they play their characters to the hilt. A fine look at the jaded aristocracy of the time, and of the difference between the classes, even if the anachronisms can be a bit jolting.
