A review by Geronimo1967
Written by Geronimo1967 on 2023-08-28
This is a great looking film; the beautiful photography (Malaysia not Thailand) is stunning and George Fenton's sympathetic score helps create a stylish setting for this retelling of the story about an English widow - played here by Jodie Foster - who takes up a position as governess to the children (and wives) of King Mongkut of Siam (Chow Yun-Fat). This story departs pretty drastically from the original text and turns into more of a sentimental love story tempered by treasonous activities from within the King's extended family. The principle performances are both gentle and sensitive, though Jodie Foster's accent is a little forced, and Bill Stewart puts in a good effort as the dodgy British trader "Mycroft Kincaid". It is just too far removed from the original for me, but I'd watch it again....
