As beautifully shot a film as you'll see, but there's more to a film than that. As compelling a story as could be brought to the screen, but there's more to a film than that.
After love and death and murder and unbearable sadness and redemption and happiness, wouldn't you expect that during that sequence the actress would change the expression on her face at least once?
Nastassja Kinski fits in well to the scenery and she's great to look at, but she can't act. I never got the impression that any of these things affected her character or that she cared about anyone else in the film.
Watch this one for the great production values and the story, but don't look for character development or emotional scenes.
