Lover's Prayer is a sweeping tale of an innocent rich boy's (Nick Stahl) infatuation with a beautiful young woman (Kirsten Dunst) who is summering next door. He quickly abandons toys and pastimes for the thrill of her seductive ways. But when he is finally confronted with who she really is and the tangled web she has spun, he is forced to become a man and understand that the world is more complicated than he ever suspected. (official distributor synopsis)

It's a huge shame that we see Kirsten Dunst in costume dramas so rarely! She is usually seen as a modern face from the present or from various decades of the 20th century, but opulent silhouettes with corsets and wide skirts and fabulously melancholic protagonists are rare pleasures indeed. True, early on there was Interview with the Vampire and Little Women, but after that cruelly passionate combination of Turgenev and Chekhov, Kirsten was offered only Marie Antoinette. And yet I think the heat and great feelings of romantic characters from great literature would suit her admirably. It's fascinating to watch her, barely twenty years old, breaking the hearts of a whole cohort of grown men, playing with them and, of course, loving the one who is still too young for real life the most.
