Badly acted, with a sense of a lack of direction, the only saving grace for this film are the wonderful settings and the score.One would not recommend this movie to anyone other than fans of 'early Grant and Hurley', but one wonders how many of them there are!
I've been seeking out a bunch of Frankenstein films after re-reading Mary Shelley's novel, and I count ones such as "Rowing with the Wind" to be part of that. It's one of a few semi-historical movies to self-reflexively be about the creation of the story, which itself is about creation.
I thought this was a very interesting take on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and the people and history surrounding it's creation. It's slow but worth the wait, beautifully filmed.
