Una joven de origen humilde es acogida por una tía millonaria que pertenece a la alta sociedad inglesa. Lo malo es que se enamora de un periodista pobre y sin prestigio que tiene vedado el acceso a su mundo. Entonces urde un maligno plan que consiste en que él consiga enamorar a una joven rica y mortalmente enferma; de ese modo, cuando enviude, heredará su fortuna y ningún obstáculo se opondrá a su boda. (Lauren Films)

The Wings of the Dove is an adaptation of Henry James' 1902 novel of the same name. It doesn't necessarily matter if we already know what themes and style are typical for James. Once again, the film tackles the unenviable situation of young people who make decisions about their future according to their financial security, which slowly destroys their relationship with each other... We also once again get the American fascination with Italy. It's really natural (and very enjoyable) to watch Helena Bonham Carter in the lead role of such a spectacular novel because she already had experience with the protagonists of E. M. Forster, Mary Shelley, W. Shakespeare and G. Orwell, and she was in top form. The art nouveau costumes and overall set design are superb, the psychology is realistic and it's an incredible downer.

Apparently when Helena Bonham Carter was young, she played in those classic British love stories that bet on a historic atmosphere and dry British romantic intrigues, which pretty much make you fall asleep.
