Don’t bother with this version. If you want an emotionally gripping and intellectually respectful version, watch the 2002 movie. The series gains nothing from the added 5 hours to the runtime. Performances are wooden (may be because of ESL issues) and direction is godawful. The camera doesn’t capture the intimacy between the characters and every interaction is so void of chemistry and tension it becomes tedious to watch. Biggest issue is over-explaining the plot like the viewer has brain damage.

There were so many alterations to the story in the first 15 minutes that I just couldn't enjoy it.

Déchirant mais magnifique. Les efforts qu'Edmonde est prête à déployer pour venger son amour révèlent le poids du cœur humain.

Sam Claflin is just perfect for the role!
