The Affair of the Necklace
This was a movie I had always had a slight interest in seeing and never gotten around to it, then I eventually forced myself to rent it and I must say I really did enjoy it. For all the history buffs this is not a movie for them, but if you really just sit down and watch without analyzing every detail it is very enjoyable. The plot is very interesting and interwoven and for the most part the cast does an excellent job. My only exception was unfortunately Hilary Swank. I have always loved Hilary Swank, but she didn’t seem to have a clear understanding of what she wanted to portray with Jeanne. Jonathan Pryce was absolutely fantastic as the cardinal. He conveyed a danger that was very subtle yet frightening at the same time. The costumes were amazing, and I was very happy to see some scenes actually shot in “The Hall of Mirrors.” Charles Shyer didn’t blow me away with his directing style and some shots seemed uneven and out of place, but it was in no way distracting. Overall, it’s a movie that doesn’t necessarily require you to think very much, but it is still enjoyable. I’d recommend it for a lazy afternoon next chance you get.
