Featured review
conventional romance
the only sin about Mayerling is the expectation of viewer. because it is only a conventional romance. not profound, not convincing, only beautiful but that is just a detail. a film for fans of actors and for a lot of romanticism from public and solid information about empire situation for be ready to admire a sort of sketch about poor Rudolph and his bitter love story. Mayerling could not represent a real surprise; it is part from a wave who use history as vehicle for noble intentions, impressive budget, nice costumes and precise target who has always the nostalgia of fairy tales flavor. so, nothing special. because it is only a film about a subject from pink novels far by its roots or real signification.
