Album Description

Easily one of my favorites

This movie combines the elements of story-telling into a first-class drama. The characters are developed, the plot reaches a climax when it should, and the ending leaves us just enough room to imagine almost any future for this couple and their child. The acting and direction are first class, and I love the music. Anyone who loves Jane Austen, Thomas Hardy, George Eliot and similar stories made into movies should enjoy this movie over and over. I do. December 17, 2008

Firelight

This is an excellent film, of a Period Victorian Romance, which I consider to be a favorite. Quality performances by Sophie Marceau and stephen Dillane ... A Classic. October 24, 2008

Lusciously passionate and romantic tale

I have the video version of "Firelight" and have watched it many times over the years since its release. I never tire of its gorgeous scenery, skillful, heartfelt acting, and the haunting, tragic, passionate and sexy storyline. The couple, Stephen Dillane and Sophie Marceau, are completely believable as the Victorian era lovers.

I wish that there were more films made like this one. This genre has a built-in audience, just waiting for one more "perfect love" tale.

Highly recommended. Not just a chick flick.
