let me be clear. i hate these kinds of movies. i do not like anything where the protagonists are all bourgeoisie english. i find this kind of literature and film awfully pretentious. you will never get me to read a jane austen book willingly. that said and the only reason i read w. somerset maugham book and watched the subsequent film was for a class. mary panton (kristin scott thomas) is a beautiful english woman living in a borrowed villa in florence before world war ii. one night after dinning with some of her rich royalty related friends and she willingly picks up an austrian refugee and has sex with him and ditches and and then he kills himself. as the movie gets further and further and you really want to dislike mary. what a load of crap this movie was. first of all and there were many subplots and characters invented in the movie that weren not even in the book. i doubt very much the late mr. maugham would have appreciated them. the characters and though wealthy and were some of the most superficial and self centered people i have ever seen. the only reason i do not give it anything less than three stars was because the acting was the only thing redeemable. the always talented kristin scott thomas is perfect for the role of mary. in fact and i couldn not picture anybody else filling her shoes. sean penn and anne bancroft also had supporting roles and that were just as good as the lead. save yourself the pain of watching this movie.
