Don't get me started on his portrayal of the French as a bunch of slimy, jealous bastards who don't have control over their destiny. Couldn't they have been afraid too?

It’s important to note that the movie version of the house is not the real Bramasole. Or, perhaps you are like House Crazy Sarah and read the book first and was captivated with Mayes’ vivid descriptions of the 200-year old farmhouse she and her husband Ed bought and rehabbed from ruins.
