I'd thought of watching it a few times but just hadn't. But after seeing that it's one of your favorites I decided to watch it tonight and I really enjoyed it! All of the characters are so interesting, the actors are fabulous and the views in Italy are just exquisite! It reminds me a bit of 'A Room With A View' but I like it a lot better! My favorite character is Lotty Wilkins, ever the optimist! :)<br /><br />~Miss Laurie<br />Old-Fashioned CharmMiss Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00973247921599001493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640277016633958889.post-25699915967527036182011-05-29T07:42:14.007+10:002011-05-29T07:42:14.007+10:00Marian, I will try to write a review sometime.

In the meantime, you could try checking out the Charity's Place review. <br /><br />http://www.charitysplace.com/review/onegin.htm<br /><br />The R-rating is ridiculous, it should really only be a PG-13. There was one love scene and one scene with some gore, as well as some innuendo.<br /><br />Laurie - oops!! *Goes and adds movie title to caption*. Wow, that's really cool! And yes, you should go and see that exhibition sometime! And I agree, it's a shame about Marie Antoinette. Though I have to admit I found all the Rococo prettiness rather stifling at times! <br /><br />Charleybrown, thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the post. :-)The Editrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184804847476554759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640277016633958889.post-33479812092945309672011-05-29T04:46:27.120+10:002011-05-29T04:46:27.120+10:00LOVE the fabric for the Marie Antoinette dress. &...LOVE the fabric for the Marie Antoinette dress. <3 Makes me want to sew! <br /><br />Would you consider writing a review for Onegin sometime? The book is one of my all-time faves, but I'm not sure if I'd like the movie (adaptation or content-wise); and there aren't a whole lot of Christian reviews for it.Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01693636355638596302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640277016633958889.post-31337513691064139472011-05-29T01:59:19.098+10:002011-05-29T01:59:19.098+10:00These are stunning Elise!

I enjoy most of these films and love the colors and textures in each photo!<br />It's too bad that Marie Antoinette has so much innuendo and objectionable content because it really is a visually exquisite costume drama! I just adore the dress in that photo!<br /><br />Is the second to the last photo from Tess of the D'Urbervilles 2008 with Gemma Arterton? You're right, it is very like Andrew Wyeth's 'Christina's World'. He painted that in my neck of the woods because he had a summer home in Cushing, Maine. It was a big story here when he passed away, he was well respected and there's an Andrew Wyeth exhibit at Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine. I don't know why I've never been there before, it would make a day trip. <br />I look forward to your next post! :)<br /><br />~Miss Laurie<br />Old-Fashioned CharmMiss Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00973247921599001493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640277016633958889.post-68565410525435328812011-05-28T22:18:38.182+10:002011-05-28T22:18:38.182+10:00Wonderful pictures Elise!
