5.0 out of 5 stars Great period piece, 6 Sep 2003
By Maria Álvarez Folgado "alfaris5" (castellar del valles, barcelona Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This film (a mini-series, I think) is a marvelous period piece, with carefully chosen settings and beautiful period clothes. The irresistible ingredients of this story are good character building, wonderful taste and great accuracy in the setting, good and handsome actors and actresses, war (World War I) and romance. To these ingredients we may add a whiff of Cinderella, and even a pinch of Jane Eyre in the characterization and evolution of Agnes and one of the male characters. We follow the progress of Agnes from dependent -but clear minded- girl to strong, determined woman on whose decisions seem to depend the well-being, and even the life, of those dearest to her as she proves herself to be a strong, intelligent, no non-sense person. What I most liked about the story (appart from the setting and clothes) is that we see everything from Agnes' point of view, so we know the reasons for her choices and decisions and we see through her eyes her (and other character's) actions and mistakes. The only exception to this are the scenes set in the trenches of World War I, but it is all right, since war is a rupture of the ordinary rythm of life. Highly recomended even if you don't like romance (neither do I).

5.0 out of 5 stars The Wingless Bird, 15 Sep 2002
By A Customer
This is an absolutely great film. The caricatures bring these circumstances alive! It is a moving film about how the attachment between people can be so strong, that even class, misfortune and love, can not break.
