One of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. Exquisite!

If you enjoyed the movie, read the Thomas Hardy story on which it is based, "On the Western Circuit".  It is in one of his book of short stories.  The story is just as wonderful as the movie, and it is to the credit of the actors, script writers, etc. that they have done such a wonderful interpretation of the tale.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way.
