content: Would have given it a 1-star, but the production values were gorgeous (cinematography, music score, sound, set decoration.) However, very hard to follow with numerous flashbacks in flashbacks (I think.) I didn't read the book so I didn't know the story, but the author seems to have channeled another famous book. All the actors seemed put out to have shown up without any intrest in fleshing out their chracters, no chemistry inter-play with any of the characters. Slowwwwwwww..........
