Oh, I almost forgot, last night I saw "The Duchess" with Keira Knightley costume drama (always be praised!). I must say I liked it, even though I left a sense of unspeakable sadness ...
Without revealing too much plot, the film focuses on the life of the Duchess of Devonshire, Georgiana Spencer (an ancestor of Diana Spencer!). The poor woman is forced to marry not yet eighteen, the Duke of Devonshire, who takes her to the altar only because they hoped to give him a son. It follows that the marriage is very happy (maybe because Georgiana produces two top girls, but no boy). So much so that not only have to take care of illegitimate children of the dear leader, and to bear his many escapades with waiter & the like, at some point the poor Georgiana must also bear a kind of triangle love, when you choose a kind of Duke's second wife and is living at the palace ... Do not expect great action scenes or plot twists, anything. But Knightley is brilliant (not new) and even Ralph Fiennes in the role of the Duke does a superb job.
I give the film a nice 7, especially for the interpretation.
