This movie is well made. It all starts and ends in the past. The cinematography is gorgeous. There are vast spans of the English countryside, well made costumes, and intricate sets. The present day is all about finding the clues to the lives of a poet from the past. I do not see how quickly passion can occur in either time frame. However the acting is real good, and by the end of the movie all of the loose ends are tied up.

I am usually not interested in romance films but this one has real feeling and beauty.
