Description

A parallel narrative of a Victorian-era gentleman and the social outcast he risks everything to love, and of the contemporary actors cast in those roles and immersed in their own forbidden affair.

Well acted and well worth two hours of your time. But the conceit of two parallel stories, one Victorian and one modern to achieve a distancing effect similar to the book within a book, looks increasingly like a cop-out rather than something innovative or clever.
