The Duchess


This film was recommended by a friend and because I was bored on Saturday night... I sat down and watched it. I must say that I usually adore periodical dramas for all the fancy costumes and the effort to make them. As far as I remember, "Marie Antoanette" has pretty good costumes too. Regarding the plot of the Duchess... I was trying really hard to find a reason why those people thought necessary of making a film in which nothing really exciting is happening. For 1 hour and 43 minutes you would expect at least a war involved :( Moreover, the film lacked of originality and new ideas. In short: ONLY THE COSTUMES are worth seeing.
