Rare Books would get respect.
27 July 2023
I am having a hard time with one major flaw in this movie. The way everyone in this movie handles rare books is appalling. The men on Pawn Stars wear white cloth gloves to touch first edition Mark Twain books... so why on earth would 15th century books be handled the way these are tossed about through the whole film.

Kleenex brand tissues are handled with more reverence by my children at home than these priceless rare books in this film.

That being said I enjoyed the topic.

The acting is perhaps subpar in parts but the sets are nicely done.

Watching a Polanski movie with such disregard for details is a bit shocking.
