I tried watch this 3 times but could not get into it because there was NO "hook" and Ampara was so annoying and unlikeable. Only because I could not find anything else on Netflix, I went back to it a 4th time, and was captivated. Great musical score and I want to watch it again because there was so much political stuff going on. It is a great history lesson. In the end they rushed through like in many movies. The wigs on the Guillaume and the other lead looked ridiculous, too wiggy. Since many men do not lose their hairline as they age in real life, all they had to do was comb it a different and add some gray. Some of the dialogue was silly. I highly recommend! AMEND: This is my second time to watch this and enjoyed again. Yes, too much gratuitous romping in bed. For those interested in more historical drama, documented, complete with footnotes, please read THE WHISPERERS, Private Life in Stalin's Russia, by Orlando Figes. From the Revolution of 1917 to the death of Stalin and beyond. This is my favorite book. Please read the review on this book, and then read. It will expand your life.
