“Learning Love the Hard Way”
Deemed messenger boy,
when girls had no choice in love-
with tragic results.
A coming-of-age;
Flash-forwards are distracting,
showing the impact.
English countryside,
transporting period piece-
with slow, measured pace.
But what makes this film?
Fisher’s shots and LeGrand’s score-
gorgeously haunting.
Evocative mise en scène-
makes it worth watching through flaws.
