Want to make your wife really happy? Watch, "Mysteries of Lisbon," with her.

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

It's the most marvelously filmed period effort I've seen since Kubrick's, "Barry Lyndon." And the story is much better; it's every bit as intriguing as a rip-roaring Balzac novel.
A young boy in an orphanage reaches a certain age and his mentor, the priest, tells him the story of his mysterious and violent origin.
We've only completed the first half of this saga and we're spellbound. The settings are fabulous, far better than cheap sets (period palaces were used in Portugal), the costumes are magnificent, and the acting isn't that over-the-top stuff that is supposed to mirror the "grande passions" of the era.
Netflix has it.
You'll thank me the next day, I assure you.

An excellent review. (Open in New Window)

It's a Portuguese film; pretty much all subtitles. She'll still love it. nt - tinear 14:26:09 12/08/12 (0)
