🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs an elegant parallel between eras, using a love triangle as a universal dramatic device. It relies on the contrast between the dynamism of the modern world and the ceremoniousness of the 18th century to highlight the permanence of inner conflict.
What lingers after viewing is the sensation of a gracefully told parable about the eternal choice between the heart's desire and social duty, where personal happiness is merely a pawn in the games of power and convention. — MovieFinder Editorial
