Another film I saw recently. French film, starring Juliette
Binoche.
Has to do with the historical period in France around the time of
cholera plague.
Italian revolutionaries are hiding in France, being chased by
Austrians and well.... . .
It begins as a rowsing, chase type drama. But it takes forever
for us to learn anything about the characters. There's a love
story, but it's the unrequited type mostly.
Finally toward the end of the film the characters reveal some
depth.
But there's been about a 45 minute stretch where credibility is
stretched way too far and you just don't know or care very much
about these characters.
It was problematic for me. Some of the scenes were very well done,
but it didn't add up to much at all.
For Fans of slightly above average french films and Binoche...
