Viggo Mortensen in The Portrait of a Lady
The Portrait of a Lady Cast and CrewViggo Mortensen: Caspar Goodwood Other leading roles: The Portrait of a Lady SynopsisHeadstrong American heiress, Isabel Archer (Kidman), travels to England. She tactfully rebuffs the advances of Caspar Goodwood (Mortensen), another American who has followed her there, and likewise rejects the proposal of a decent, sensible English suitor, Lord Warburton (Richard E. Grant), because she wants to find her own destiny and identity first. Instead, she is seduced by Gilbert Osmond (Malkovich), an effete collector of art (and women) whom one character describes as a "sterile dilettante." The film explores how Isabel's life, and the lives of those who love her, are affected by this fateful decision.

The first calls it a "layered, subtle, exquisite period drama" and says that "Mortensen, no stranger to playing mysterious, seductive and dangerous men, is the surprise in this film, playing against type as the straightforward, loving gentleman who scares the hell out of Isabel by offering his heart and being willing to wait." The second review concludes, "The story subtly intrigues, and may be an acquired taste."
