Album Description

Lusciously passionate and romantic tale

I have the video version of "Firelight" and have watched it many times over the years since its release. I never tire of its gorgeous scenery, skillful, heartfelt acting, and the haunting, tragic, passionate and sexy storyline. The couple, Stephen Dillane and Sophie Marceau, are completely believable as the Victorian era lovers.

I wish that there were more films made like this one. This genre has a built-in audience, just waiting for one more "perfect love" tale.

Highly recommended. Not just a chick flick.

Superb!

I highly recommend this film for men and women. My husband and I both enjoyed it, though it is not for family, adults only. It is a wonderful drama of desire and passion placed in aristocratic England, 1800's. May 5, 2008

I was only able to find it on amazon..... April 5, 2008

Simple, Elegant, and emotional film

The plot is very lean and simple, which leaves all the room for the actors to fill it up with fine, understated performances. Sophie Marceau is stunningly beautiful as usual, but her subtle charm and direct candor are perfectly matched to this role, giving depth and life to a character in a very lonely setting. I own several of her films, this is hands-down the only english speaking role of hers worth repeat viewing. April 2, 2008
