- Summary: LONDON, ENGLAND, UK (MAY 11, 2017) (REUTERS) VARIOUS OF ACTRESS, SAMANTHA BARKS, TALKING TO PRESS (SOUNDBITE) (English) ACTRESS, SAMANTHA BARKS, SAYING: "The costumes and the makeup and everything is so beautiful and decadent and then this darkness that weaves in through James Purefoy and the baron and the kind of thing that was going on around that time and the manipulation he had with young women at the time. And I think it plays beautifully, you don't know whether to be loving the beauty of it or completely horrified at what's going on. I think it treads that line nicely."
