The rich old man, or the poor young artist? There are a few flowers (tulips) as well.

I found it a bit boring and could not get into the story. Long drawn out movie.

An okay film.

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…

Watchable adulterous affair set in the tulip mania era

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,…

So many twists and turns. A wild, ride.

it just remind me of the movie about the painting "Girl with Perl Erring".

not as good as the reviews. More about illicit sex than tulips...

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…

never really liked tulips but learning their history and some of the beautiful ones we never see was interesting

I enjoyed the movie.

Wanted to love this move, I love period pieces, but found this to be a poorly told story that moved into the realm of preposterous and cliché at times. The talented actors deserved a better storyline.

I did not find this interesting.

Less about tulips, more about young woman's love affair, enjoyable if you like period drama genre.

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…

I tried to like this movie. Lovely costumes and all but geez the plot was ridiculous! Can't believe Dame Judy did this piece.

I agree with "King of the Squirrels", i.e., great sets and costumes, but little else. Disappointing.

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.

Absolutely loved it. A great story (I never read the original), brought to the silver screen. Great costumes and stage settings and actors.
