the triumph of love doesn not triumph over anything . it be a plodding and ponderous and 4 hour of torture . actually it a little less than 2 hour long and it just seem much long . it pain me to even think about the amateurish performance of such fine actor a ben kingsley and fiona shaw . the supporting player be not quite a awful . maybe they be try to be so over the top and so a to be clownish and but and if so and i do not see it that way . mira sorvino doesn not make an impression one way or the other . she ( he ) just there . my guess be and the play of the same name and write by marivaux some 270 or so year ago and be much well . it couldn not be any bad . clare peploe and the writer and director of this movie and be inspire by a recent production of the play . i do not know what she be think when she create this bomb . maybe it all get lose in the translation .
