Am I the only one who adores this film?

I really don't understand why this film isn't rated higher on this site. Granted more men are members of IMDb and a lot of guys don't care for period pieces but women have ranked it low as well.
This is a brave and beautiful film. Of course it's not exactly historically accurate but I cannot help but feel the cinematagraphy, costumes and luscious looking pastries are mouth watering. I love the pastel colours! This stands as one of my most favorite period pieces. Doesn't anyone else like this film?

I think she's the saddest girl ever to hold a martini.

Adore is a bit strong, but I very much enjoyed it. The acting, the character interactions, the story itself, while it did have its moments, on the whole it was all so austere and barebones it was almost off putting. However, the amazing production design and costumes, wow. IMO totally worth a watch simply on the level of pure eye candy. Second only to Barry Lyndon I'd say.

The only reason I ever liked it was because of the eye candy, and I can go to the Costumer's Guide to look at the costumes if I want.
