Painter Dora Carrington develops an intimate but extremely complex bond with writer Lytton Strachey. Though Lytton is a homosexual, he is enchanted by the mysterious Dora and they begin a lifelong friendship that has strangely romantic undertones. Eventually, Lytton and Dora decide to live together, despite the fact that the latter has fallen in love with military man Ralph Partridge, whom she plans to marry.

Partiamo dal presupposto che io sono eterosessuale.
Io non sono il target di questo film ; per il resto resta una buona visione, il problema sono io.

I struggled with the narrative structure with this. It was like watching the highlights of a sports match. You get all the critical moments in one neat package but you certainly don't feel like you get put through the same kind of emotional ringer as you would watching the whole match. Carrington feels like we just got the highlights and weren't given enough to build enough of a connection to anything, not enough tension or build up, never got to sit in enough of the moments... except here the highlights went for 2 hours.

Great Michael Nyman score.
