This is a fine, understated film about a very sensitive topic. Robin is brilliant in one of his final roles. Writing is subtle, touching, and understands how difficult it was for men and women to come out before gay liberation. So many live in secret and needless shame. The direction and cinematography are excellent. A sadly overlooked film.
First of all, why are the mother and daughter living in Versailles? The house is ridiculously over the top. Vivica is wonderful as always, the daughter bland, the mother strong. The young man is excellent and keeps it on track, even when the dialog is risible.
Clearly some don't get it on this site. Anyone who finds this extraordinary film dull isn't paying attention. This beautiful meditation on death and loss is one of the most moving experiences I had at the movies all year.
