Customer Reviews of Angels & Insects
Don't have to be a genius to guess the secret Suspense was not the strongest point of the movie. You can see the "deep dark secret" coming from miles away. I don't know at which point other viewers realized that the family was a bit "too close", but I guessed it pretty much in the beginning, when the Eugenia's brother was talking about purebred horses. The hint struck me as very transparent. I just nodded my head and said: "Gotcha - incest! Great..." <

>I admit that the movie is an eye candy. But the cinematography is very stylicized. The costumes are not accurate for the era. The women's dresses were designed to look like butterfly wings. That was probably the effect that the director was going for. Most women did not dress up in such gaudy colors. But I suppose, the family is meant to be portrayed as somewhat strange. <

Angels and Insects
In each of our video libraries we have a collection of movies that depict certain periods in time. They are what we might call "period" movies. We scan them for accuracies, maybe use them to teach us something that we might not have known about the time or simply use them to take us away for 90 minutes to another time. Not always looking for a movie thiller, but rather the quality of the depiction.

>I think that we have a long time now graduated from GWTW and have moved on to movies like "Washinton Square", "The Europeans", "The Buccaneers", ect. This week I saw a movie that perhaps you might not have been aware of. The movie is called "Angels and Insects". The movie takes place in England from 1861 through 1863. The story of a man of little means that meets and falls in love with the daughter of an aristocratic family that employs him. The marriage fails for reasons that I will not disclose but I will say that the failure was not his fault. Nevertheless he finds happiness in the end.

>The story is a bit unconventional but I think that I liked it for that reason. The costumes and hair were spectacular, at least from my perspective. Not completely correct I'm sure, but very entertaining. The images in photogrpahs that I have seen of the aristocracy in that time match the "excessiveness" that I saw in this film. The costumes of the staff was impecible! There was a tremendous amount of attention to detail taken. If you like "hoops" and horses, furniture and fornication you are sure to enjoy this film. The cover was of the movie jacket obviously is made to attract more than period movie fans, but I think that the "others" would be disappointed, I doubt that you will though.
