a review of

I enjoyed this even while I saw the somewhat contrived plot complications that come periodically, which I thought made the story just a little far-fetched. The sets and costumes make the perfect frame for the grand ecclesiastical gestures the actors get to use. Just a couple named female characters here, and one of them given no lines, but the one which does speak (Isabella Rossellini) gets to have a big moment that affects the plot in a significant way.
