Title: "costume drama" and so much more
Review: As a theatreical costume designer, I found the whole movie fascinating, visually rich, fun. It pokes fun at design obsessions I also hold dear and takes them to an etreme levelin costumes, setting, characters. The sarcasm and wit of the story are charming, charming, charming. The characters of Scott and Fran are people we 'know' in our own lives. . .heck, maybe they are US. And who hasn't questioned their parents' wisdom at some time in their lives? Embarking on the 'road less travelled' is a good risk, this movie says. And, of course, " a life lived in fear is only half lived" encourages us all to take those good risks. Did you know that this movie's beginning were in a design class at the Royal Academy of the Arts in Austalia? Bravo to that risk-taking designer and to those who took that project to this extreme, lovely level, too. SEE THIS FILM, you will love it.
