A Touching Tale Of Cuckoldry And Cholera

When Edward Norton first starts speaking in an English accent, I thought "great, that's all I'm going to listen for...him messing up an accent." I soon forgot all about that as the story and characters are so gripping that you soon become entangled in their situation. FANTASTIC cinematography throughout and a wonderfully understated score round out this film. My only gripe is that it is ANOTHER remake of a film classic, but in fairness, it's adapted from a novel, so I suppose that fact makes it fair game. All in all, a wonderful cinematic experience.

The theme of this movie comes out of left field--well, actually, out of the subplot. The British agent's mistress says she stays with him because he is a good man, and this idea hits the heroine like a bombshell, an idea she's never thought of before. Yes, I agree, a super movie--and thought-provoking.
