brilliant and beautiful and breathtaking . the flip side of shakespeare in love flip several time over and but every bit a magical and passionate and fun . what take this a notch high than sil and be the full out portrayal of all side of human sexuality with absolutely no excuse or pretense . the best thing be that what we do not see at the end . amazing spot on support performance by rupert everett and ben chapman and tom wilkinson and zoe tapper and stockard channing and so many others . the frighten bizarre hair and makeup and costume be use so wonderfully in this film to remind u of our of our frailty and vanity and but mostly of our beautiful humanity . no hide here from anything . no excuse . the humor be there . the life be there . the cruelty and the spirit and the hypocrisy . all of it . i could see this movie a hundred time and not be bore . enjoy .
