Mark Rylance in Ángeles & insectos (1995)

After ten years on the Amazon and surviving a shipwreck in which most of his work is lost, naturalist William Adamson, now lacking a home and means of his own, is taken in by his benefactor, Sir Harald Alabaster, who hires William to assist him with the writing of a book, as well as to tutor the younger of the children in residence on his estate. It's good fortune for William, who finds satisfaction in his work, as well as in making the acquaintance of one of Sir Harald's daughters, Eugenia, with whom he quickly becomes enamored. Eugenia, however, is a rather fragile flower, struggling with the inner demons of a dark secret born of unspeakable desires. Despite his best efforts, the shadows that plague Eugenia's soul remain. William, though, is determined to break through her darkness and bring her into the light, but some secrets are better left buried; and before it's over, William may discover more tragedy than he imagined.

like a guilty pleasure?

i decided to tape this movie without watching it and save it for a rainy day, and did it ever pay off! this is a great movie. now i admire antonia susan's writing, but trying to slog through morpho eugenia (book from which this movie was made) was like a peculiar form of torture-- insect description til i thought i would vomit. never thought i would say this, but the movie is so much better! it has all you could want:great acting{no matter what some people say about patsy kensit, if they hadn't wanted some one with her particular talent she would not have been cast. so there.i bite my thumb at thee.} great costumes, setting, and surprise twist ending--! see this movie.

final words:watch it for the sheer guilty pleasure
