Al contrario to all other reviews !
Well, the lead actress is obviously rather beautiful, but can't walk with high heels. A pity !
The costumes are at times absolutely gorgeous, some houses' interiors superb...
So why am I not so convinced ?
The pace is too slow for me, the screen time allowed to see Adriana Ugarte, her hands and her feet, makes me think : was the director in love with her ?
The story and acting are too much polished for my taste.
Considering the high rates given on the site, my hopes were not see a (well made) kind of soap novella.
Pretty shiny outlook, but sorry, not much more !
But if you do like fashion, it could be your cup of tea !
I didn't read the novel, may be I should... but for the serie, my rating is ~ 7*
a film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet Orson Welles.
