She’s the daughter of a rich estate owner and he’s the son of a poor miller. Despite the deep love between them, her father makes Victoria ditch Johannes for the richer Otto. It looks amazing. The acting is fine. It just lacks drive, blood and vision. I do wonder if just focusing on one character would have helped or if cutting it tighter would have done the trick. Something is not working here and it's a shame since the camera work is stunning.
