Tess Roman Polanski's version of Thomas Hardy's novel is like being trapped in the 19th century with no place to turn. Nastassja Kinski is abused, molested, taken for granted and denied hope by everything in her environment, yet it's a touching romantic epic. From Columbia TriStar.   10/12/04 Posted by DVD Savant at October 12, 2004 04:30 PM
