  1. That yellow gown Morfydd Clark is wearing looks a lot like the one she wore at the end of Love & Friendship.

  2. The costumes are gorgeous although that machine embroidered fabric early on looks like those faux silk curtains at Bed Bath and Beyond. And, don’t you think Mom’s travelling outfit and hat look very very late Victorian?

  3. Interesting, I might have to check this out. For me, Aneurin Barnard wouldn’t be an obvious choice for Mozart but in this context he does remind me a bit of the Joseph Lange portrait.

  4. Yes, I did see this movie, which I watched solely for the JPF (= James Purefoy Factor). It was good, not great. But it LOOKED great. I thought everyone was well-cast. It’s just that the actor who plays Mozart was supposed to be the handsome young love interest, but I thought he looked like a child next to the oh-so drool-worthy James Purefoy. I wish James Purefoy’s character had more depth rather than just PURE evil and that he’d been shown turning down women who wanted to be with him. I mean, they cast the most handsome man in the world and then they had NO women actually WANT to be with him based on his sex appeal alone? I liked the friendships in the movie, too.
    A. Also–I vote for MORE posts in which y’all snark and/or comment on each other’s comments in the photo captions!!

    B. For bibliophiles: I highly recommend the historical fiction novel The Prague Sonata by Bradford Morrow. If this plot of this film intrigues you, then you will probably enjoy this novel. Plus, the audiobook narrator is amazing.

    1. Purefoy was so unattractive in this flick! Dour, dull, & Mr. Baddie all the way thru. Kind of a cartoon villain, which is a pity.

      Overall a “pretty” movie, but not a terribly deep or smart one.

      1. I agree with everything you said about the movie and about James (but I was drooling anyway). Go figure!!

    2. I hate when such a wonderful actor (and God-tier thirst trap) is so egregiously wasted… it would have been so much better to give him the “Colonel Brandon” treatment!

      Yes, I’m biased. #PurefoyIsPureJoy

  5. Unfortunately the movie never made it into the cinema in Germany (or at least in Freiburg). Therefore I have to juge from the photos. The costumes are looking very typical for todays European production. Some extras such as from the masquerade have poor costumes (maybe from the collection of a theater?). The rooms are looking good enough. In times when even historical figures often get a nonsense story around them (I remember “Geliebte Schwestern” about Schiller’s love for the Lengefeld sisters, “Goethe!” about the young J.W. v. Goethe and his youth in Wetzlar mixed with his novel “Die Leiden des jungen Werther”) the movie is not far too crazy. At least the costumes of the male and female characters are fitting together really well (sometimes we see that the girls are living in the 1780s while the boys are living in the 1750s for some reason) and the quality is not too different.
