I thought this movie was amazing. I read some of the other comments, and I can see why some people wouldn't like it. I love period pieces, and this one was great. The only things that could have made it better were 1> Kate Winslet (corset Kate) and 2> LOSING OLIVER PLATT!!! He sucked thru the whole movie. I wanted to see this for a while, but I wasn't able to while it was still in theatres. I thought it was great on DVD. I really liked the fact that it was based on the true story of a 16th century courtesan. Yes, they were high class prostitutes, but they were cherished women. A different kind of love than you would give the wife of an arranged marriage, but loved beyond control all the same.
If you love period pieces, RENT THIS TODAY! You wont regret it. I promise.
