In reply to Faith. I agree, though I'm not sure how they'd have explained it to the other nobles and the Irish King if he allowed them to marry instead.

I saw this movie not to long ago. Rufus Sewell was by far my favorite. 🙂 I do feel like if Isolde and Tristan had been honest at the beginning and told Lord Marke before the wedding they were in love, he would’ve been understanding.

In reply to Tiffany Ellzey. Agreed. Its a pity more people haven't seen it. From what I know of older versions (which admittedly is not all that much), I prefer this realistic and genuinely romantic retelling.

Great movie that is often overlooked among period dramas. Rufus Sewell definitely steals the show imo. Although James and Sophia were great in their own right.

I actually have read some of the original versions of the story through an Arthurian Lit class I took in college, and the movie is definitely different! In most of the versions Tristan & Isolde are very unlikable characters.
