Title: Lovely to look at, but silly beyond measure
Product review: What good is symbolism and a beautiful atmosphere at the expense of no plot or character development? I am not sure what separates this movie from other sexually-repressed "girl's school" flicks, other than pretty white dresses and straw boaters instead of halter tops and short shorts. Other reviewers mention the oppressive heat of the landscape as a metaphor for the oppression of this class-conscious, sexually repressed Victorian setting. No, it's a warning of the oppression, lethargy, and boredom you'll feel at having to sit though this nonsense. Someone should tell the screenwritter that pseudo-profound precognizant banter does not good dialog make. "Now I know - She's a Bottichelli angel." To paraphase Dorothy Parker - "Tonstant Viewer frowed up."
