Review of The Wings of the Dove (1997) by Amethyst V — 30 Jan 2010
A beautiful, beautiful film. I love Helena Bonham Carter in this film in particular. She plays this most difficult role in a way that we empathize and ache for her even though she isn't a particularly "good" person or isn't doing the "right" thing (ah yes moral ambiguity at its best.) I think this is especially noticable as Bonham's character, Kate is contrasted with Millie, an almost unbelievably generous soul, an ideal woman in the eyes of society.
Setting and costumes- just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
Only downside is that I feel depressed after watching this movie- yet I go back again and again. If I catch a glimpse of it flipping through the channels I stop dead and become absorbed once again.
