A totally engrossing story of the desperation of women to become subservient to men and take a master. Admittedly that was the expectation in those days, still is for far too many girls around the world but this kind of urgent determination to find a 'good' man to wait upon belongs in a museum along with some slave master statues. That aside, the acting, especially Emma Thompson is top notch, it's directed by a visionary and pioneer and it flows quite elegantly along with a poetic and humorous dialogue. Sadly, the only lessons to learn are those still being learnt some centuries later.
