Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Swaddled in whalebone and wigs, Keira Knightley steps into the restricted world
of the Duchess of Devonshire, a royal lady popular with her subjects but stuck
in an unhappy marriage. If this situation recalls Princess Diana (a descendent
of the Duchess's family), so much the better for the purposes of director Saul
Dibb and company; this film is eager to draw parallels with the unfortunate Lady
Di, even if she is never directly mentioned. Knightley's unsuspecting girl is
married off to the Duke (Ralph Fiennes), a distracted jerk who craves male sons,
and obviously has never thought of women as anything other than a means to
achieve an heir. When the Duchess launches her procreative career with a couple
of daughters, well, the Duke begins to get nervous--and partners outside the
marriage become increasingly appealing. The Duchess serves up lavish portions of
Brit-movie staples: costumes (which, in Knightley's case, are nothing short of
spectacular), landscapes,! and gorgeous music (by Rachel Portman). If it falls
short in some vague way, perhaps it's because the film is a mostly one-note
affair, meaning exactly what it seems to mean at every moment. Charlotte
Rampling appears too briefly as Knightley's mother, and Dominic Cooper and
Hayley Atwell (from Brideshead Revisited), rising stars both, contribute
attractive lures for the principals.

After some absence I'm back! And I decided to do for every movie an ac3 5.1 version and a
1 cd version with mp3. I'll try to put in english subs on every upload, some other
languages might get uploaded on our forum. This depends on the source!
