The plot is fairly implausible, and my biggest problem was the poor lighting. The actor who played the artist was miscast; there wasn't anything beguiling enough about him for the main character to risk everything for him and relinquish…

Could have been interesting to learn about how speculation in tulips was the dot.com crash of their era. But it's not, it's just a story about adultery and a showcase for "soft core porn." Not what I was looking for, I should have looked…

This DVD would not play in my Bose system for some reason. I'd seen this previously, enjoyed the book brought to film, but still prefer the read. Amazing history that reminds one of the various 'fever's' that sweep nations - coffee,…

Waste of time. And a waste of some very expensive costumes. The actors -- except Dench -- seem to substitute heavy breathing and anguished looks in the endless close-ups for actual acting. Dimly lit. Dimly conceived. Plot was tedious and…

An imaginative albeit improbable story set in golden age Amsterdam, with very good costumes and art direction (loads of dark, sepia interiors), plus amazingly well done 'green screen' shooting (not a single scene was done in the…

Set in Holland during the tulip mania. Great art direction, costumes, editing, lighting. I enjoyed the choice of cast. Thought they did a good job. While the storyline is a little far-fetched, it isn’t implausible to me that people would…
This dramatic indie film is set in the seventeenth century, and about a married woman who falls in love with an artist, and decides to switch identities with her maid so that she can run away and be with her one true love. The storyline of…

I waited nearly a year to see this movie. What an utter waste of time. Great sets and costumes but lousy, pedestrian story and flavourless direction. Somewhere in there is a minor subplot about tulip mania.
