The only thing that saves the film is

The only thing that saves the film is eternal beauty of Kristin Thomas. The rest of it is an absolute dumb nonsence

Incredibly depressing. No sympathy for the entitled Brenda

Incredibly depressing. No sympathy for the entitled Brenda. Tony got a raw deal. Nice scenery and costumes.
Reviewed by Alain E 8 / 10

In a way a condemnation of British aristocracy

In a way a condemnation of British aristocracy. The emotionally restrained heir of a rich family in its last legs is in an unsatisfactory marriage. His wife soon finds more excitement hooking up with a vacuous young man. Their young son is raised principally by a nanny until he gets killed in a hunting accident. They decide to separate , but disagree on the financial terms. The husband, on the spur of a moment, decides to join an explorer of the Brazilian jungle and ends up imprisoned by an illiterate elderly colonist who is forcing him to read loud the complete works of Charles Dickens. Believed lost, his heirs raise a small obelisk in his memory. So, actually a pretty solid monument of dust.
