Review by mgfineart

I just happened upon this two part movie while scrolling for period dramas. The casting is excellent, as other reviewers have noted, and the cinematography, costumes, etc., are top notch. What I find disturbing are the many sex scenes that seem to be creeping in to every movie made nowadays. I will not watch the smut so I found myself fast forwarding through much of it. This Prince apparently spent half his time in bordellos of one sort or another. There are ways to indicate what's going on without zooming into the action and forcing it on the audience after all-remember Rhett Butler carrying Scarlet up the stairs? For those of us who want to see clean historical dramas I guess we are just stuck with Jane Austen.
