The mini-series was supposedly shot in both french and english language, but I did not find this to be true. Kinski's clothes are virginal and chunky for the most part, as befits the wife of an ambassador.and yet her passionate exoticism cannot be held in check, and wins over repression in the end. Her character is draped in vivid reds and evocative jewelry. Deneuve's high society duds are probably the most spectacular, as they should be. LeeLee Sobieski looks alternately frumpy and seductive, just as most 18 year olds do in real life showing a girl still figuring out how to present herself to the world.
Costumes are very accurate and well thought out, especially for the female leads.
The outdoor scenes (especially the horseback ones) are stunning. The director captures the essence of 1960s French Riviera without over-glamorizing, which is a good thing, because it is not necessary. As for how this production looks: This mini-series is absolutely gorgeous.
