Yes, yes, very romantic; though I'm sorry to say very sorrowful. I'm not a man, but I know castration must feel like the worst thing in the world, especially to someone seemingly having it all: intelligence, respect, a worthy job and a great love. Not only is this movie not lacking in interest, but I enjoyed the historical feel to it as well. Naming their son Astrolabe is a little odd, granted, but these were the Dark Ages after all. Kim Thomson acted fabulously; circles around even the competent male leads...how can I really do her work justice? She really embodied all that a strong women hundreds of years ago could be, and though dynamic and loud, didn't seem to overexaggerate her talent in the slightest. Except for the maid, which seemed a little too unconvincing as a Medieval prole (everything about her screamed 1980s), all the acting was up to par. See this film if you have a thing for tasteful romance, silly and unabashed love, or simply looking for something to watch.
