Few will remember the glossy French movie Les Choses de la Vie, of which this is an even glossier remake. Richard Gere is a well-groomed architect, married to Sharon Stone and having an affair with journalist Lolita Davidovich. The usual ménage à trois, then, with designer labels, capped teeth, smart furniture and doting daughter, all droolingly shot and written like a TV soap. The trick is to give Gere's dilemma (Sharon or Lolita?) some resonance, so a stunningly staged car smash takes centre stage and takes the decision out of his hands. Impossible to film in Britain as we have roundabouts.

Dim and glossy melodrama about the meaning of life; if you value every moment, then don't waste time watching it.

Something to see

Despite the 'stars' in the film, what I really enjoyed about this movie was the simplicity of the story, depicting how complicated life can be in a real setting. There was no excess drama, but real emotions displayed. It was a nice change from the stereo-typical Hollywood films that came out. You had a sense that the characters relaxed and put themselves in a real-life human experience. Worth seeing and reflecting on.

dying to see the original

This is based on Les Choses de la Vie dir. Claude Sautet, but it's unavailable and I only vaguely recollect it from years ago. I suppose you could get the original in France. In any case, this remake lacks the wonderfully stylish quality of the original. Sharon Stone wears some very odd garments. Nevertheless, the concept of this film works well and it is worth seeing it through to the final scene because the pay-off is perfect.

2nd Gere

Ultimately we enjoyed this film, well acted and a decent storyline. Richard Gere was sadly playing a pretty pathetic character, bless his cottons! Bit of a girl's film fellas, although I took some satisfaction in the ending.
