Title: A tragedy of a film
Product review: I found the novel a pleasure to read, but a tragedy to see end. I found this film a tragedy to watch and a pleasure to see end. Too many really important details left out leaves us to wonder what these characters are really all about. Kidman is called "clever" and "headstrong" but hardly shows it in her actions. Malkovich reprises his "Dangerous Liasons" character to the point of stereotyping himself. And Viggo Mortensen is much too handsome to play the American blockhead. Very hard to believe any of these people. Read the novel.
