rohmer stray from his usual portrait of french middle class to tell this costume drama about the difficulty of an aristocrat lady during the french revolution . what more attractive about la anglaise . ( apart from the story itself ) be the fabulous aesthetic that rohmer have achieve . the image have be digitally decorate too make them look like baroque picture . in some moment you can not really say whether your watch a movie or a series of picture in louvre musseum . every shot be like a piece of art . my rate represent 7 . 5/10 .
