Weird
By crispin40 (553 reviews) from Stirling, Scotland , 05 Mar 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
Sorry .... I sat through a fair portion of this film but gave up in the end.
The characters and settings were a bit too weird for me - even tho it had a good British cast including Timothy West and Shirley Henderson. The sepia - almost monochrome - tones didn't help either - I suppose they were trying to convey the mood in France in 1913. The music was in keeping with all this and left me feeling quite down. No doubt someone else will tell me I should have stuck with it as it got better towards the end but, quite frankly, I just couldn't be bothered as the characters were so way out it was difficult to feel any empathy with or for them.- Was this review helpful to you?

(3)Far too staid
By Savage (632 reviews) from London, England , 17 Jul 2008From a classic Belgian novel, which reveals that classic novels are much the same in tone and subject matter the world over, and, crucially, that adaptations of them all rely on the basic BBC template: nice costumes, well-upholstered production design, and stately acting. The story to this one is quite promising - maid and would-be artist fall in love, but it all goes wrong because of his attitutudes - but it's shot so...very...slowly by the director, and has far too little passion from Ms Delpy (elswhere a fine talent), so, finally, it counts for nothing. It looks nice, however, and those with a wet Sunday to wile away and a taste for the decent and discreet may find a few choice plums.- Was this review helpful to you?
