the presence of Vanessa Redgrave could be a guarantee about this film. but it is more. because it is not only a beautiful film but a wise one. not victim of many easy solutions - useful for many Gothic stories - but delicate and precise, gentle and care to each obstacle. a movie who remembers many old stories. but it has courage to not be only one of them. the key is the intelligent performance of lead actresses. and the spirit of old world - tower of secrets, deaths and the best servants. but the secret remains the clash between feelings, past and future, the limits and shadows of characters as a puzzle. that seems be all. a movie who has not ambition to be remarkable. but it is really good.
