Austen-2

I only watched the first episode and most of the second. The acting in the first (Revuelta particularly) was so over the top that the audience (at the University of Chicago) laughed. The politics are cartoonish and the characters tiresome. There are some nice genre scenes for the two eras, but even this is overdone and very one-dimensional as well as sometimes offensive (silly upper class women, naked black revolutionary warriors riding bareback, extended scenes of rape and violence). It is the worst Cuban film I have ever seen
