Directed by: Justin Chadwick
Written by: Deborah Moggach (novel) & Tom Stoppard
Starring: Alicia Vikander, Dane DeHaan, & Christoph Waltz
In order to support her family, Sophia (Vikander) marries a wealthy man Cornelius (Waltz). Unhappy and eager to have a child, she has an affair with an artist (DeHaan) and plans on a way for them to be together.
This film was not heavily advertised, but it should be. Vikander does it again with a marvelous performance during this period piece. Her interaction with Waltz and DeHaan was so contrasting that, as an audience member, you sympathize with her and her endeavors that she goes through to be happy.
Besides this main storyline, the film had a few other subplots that were interesting since they revolved around the tulip mania that occurred during the 17th century. Tulips were a rarity and were being exchange for money, similar to art, gold, and other valuables in modern times.
I enjoyed this film very much and loved how the film interconnected the characters and plots.
