I didn't really know much about Mysteries of Lisbon (2011) before seeing it, except that it had been garnering great reviews. Apparently, it a condensed version of a six hour miniseries. As a film it clocks in at 272 minutes in the film version and I watched it in intervals around an hour at a time (I'm from the MTV generation--four hours plus is a bit much for me). It was a wonderful period drama--great costumes and decadent locations, adventure, romance... Perhaps, melodramatic, but in an engaging way. I thought the cinematography was also quite inventive and interesting. I also found the acting well-done. A very entertaining period drama all in all.
