A precise adaptation. Escaping to each comparation ( especialy for not ignoring memory of 1959 version ), its beauty is proposed by admirable acting- not surprising, Maggie Smith is just perfect as lady Venable - and for discover of Rob Lowe in the traits, inspired crafted, of doctor .
The austerity, imposed by duration, seems the main trait of this version, seductive, cold but rich in the tools for reveal the heart of tragedy so radical hidden by Mrs. Venable.
Natasha Richardson is the fair Catherine and the austere details defining the ghotic frame of story , like the wise intro, maybe the memorable detail, like the end, the exotic garden, the carnivor flowers being the best portrait of absent but so present Sebastian , representing the great good point.
