The bonfire dance was a nice touch, but otherwise the elegance made this a bore. This was a three language project, recapturing scenes in German, French and this the English speaking version. Perhaps the pacing feels more natural when shot in German, because the original production crew was based there. That's usually the case with these type of productions. Time will tell if I ever get to see the other versions to do a comparison.
