classic Ganz. Good actors, nice amenities, meticulous image-arrangements, sometimes sympathetic, sometimes exaggerated audio ideas, nice work out the message. In the final confrontation could have handled the painting something original or bizarre, rather than using a standard "Tales from the Crypt Zombie. Otherwise
timeless and relevant. At best, this story is still leading in their natural environment, the Victorianism. Magnetic center is less of the pretty boy (although he is always on the scene), but Colin Firth as Henry Wotton. Firth returns to his unusual role in A Single Man back to his prime figure of the British gentleman in the old costume, but this time is the amusing unsympathetic. This is fully in the template, this eternal swaggering at a high level, even if it evaporated much in favor of a smoother action. Wotton embodies the core of the system, the bottomless boredom in the face of social needs and the associated sharp-tongued Cynicism. An overarching contempt, but very aptly converted into complacency with a sentence like: "I want to change anything in England except the weather." A hypocrite who feels superior to the other hypocrites powerful, to the sheer radicalism of his student is directed against its own structures.
Charming, beautifully-made update, better than its reputation.
