“Acting simply cannot be about how you look. It would be very difficult to make a film where you have to be beautiful in every shot. You have to put so much effort into it; you have to hold your head at particular angles, put the light in a certain way and I don't like acting like that. I like to act unconscious of how I look.”

But this emotional epic of forsaken love also remarkably teems with rage at the class divisions in Edwardian-era England.
