Enjoyed immensely. Went to see it because of the cast. With such a fine cast it had to be seen. I was not disappointed. If you enjoyed Masterpiece Theatre as it used to be you would enjoy this. Reminded me also of "A Town Like Alice" although less violent. Roses for costuming, settings, and of course the cast. I only questioned the age of the young boy. I would have thought he was highly suspicious hanging about and would have been recruited for the political youth gangs who may have supported Mussolinis blackshirts.
People who only enjoy current violent films ought not to be permitted to see such lovely films.The character played byJudi Dench and her efforts to protect works of art and her sensitivity to art while experiencing the frustration of not actually producing great works, herself, earned my sympathy.
