If anybody's wondering... (Youtube link)
Also, ooof. Not that this looks to be a fine piece of cinema, but the writer didn't put this into the script, the director did. Apparently it's an 1884 printing of an 1853 edition of a 1720 translation (Pope's), so in no way whatsoever is it first edition of, well, anything. Maybe the worst part of it is that there was absolutely no reason to linger over the title. They never even say the name of the book.
Someone in the props department snuck in a joke.
The description says "psychological thriller", but the cinematography is giving me "Netflix romcom".
