aesthetic delight. impressive cast. inspired story. and slice of a dark history presented with precise, delicate grace. but all is a impressive collection of ice pieces. like in a theater play in which words, gestures and relations between characters are only fragments of reality sketches. the vision of Ivory is not a surprise and the hard work of actors to maintain a large construction is admirable. but the film, full of real virtues, has not soul. it is only a marble statue who impress, enjoy, but nothing more. the viewer is only a museum visitor. is it enough ? maybe not. but it is not fair to consider it a disappointment. only example of cold beauty and new demonstration of Ivory art.
