What makes it different from others?

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

"fin de siecle" atmosphere. love story and sentimental choices. a drama who preserves the spirit of lost period by a great director. it is not easy to define. first - for seduction of Mitteleuropa flavor. than for decent acting and for impression of a romanticism who has charm of old gems. spirit of a time, reflected in precise-delicate manner. that is the basic ingredient of this film. splendid images, drops from The Lady of the Camillas, fragile balance between nuances, beautiful cinematography and a kind of magic of old gold frame. film of memories, it is seductive and strange in same measure. a movie by Radu Gabrea. who reflects more a state of soul than colors of a novel.
