Colin Firth in 1919. Page updated June 1999

Colin Firth in

MY RATING:*** The film, shot largely indoors, has a certain theatre feeling to it. It is magnificently played with long shots which allow the actors to develope and express the characters and their emotional turmoil.

And, although Colin's screentime is limited, what we see is very moving. Like in the scene below during one of young Alexander's sessions with dr Freud: on the couch in Freuds's cold and rather dark consulting room, Colin's face expresses Alexander's sorrow, anguish and despair over his love for his sister.
