Review of Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) by Jason D — 14 Sep 2011

Typical period prestige drama. Looks very nice, done very seriously, hardly anything there story-wise. Yes, there are some long looks and there is a lot of interesting turns on moral conventions of the period.

And there is the ending taken straight from Andrei Rublev. But as far as the story goes, just nothing interesting. Some stereotypical soap opera intrigue and girlish maid small-talk. I guess I just don't respond to the whole "see who wants to bang who" plot.
