Silent Treatment

For a thirty seven year old actress with a background as something of a 'wild child' Sophie Marceau has turned in an extremely mature debut movie. It's a 'mood' piece from frame one with relevant back story fed to us via an eye dropper and none the worse for that. She is also very consistent and sure-footed in her narrative. For instance our first glimpse of Arestrup is of an ageing father figure in mid-metamorphose from 'insensitive' to 'monster' yet in the back story he is seen through the same eyes - initially a bruised wife but now a young girl in love - as a caring, sensitive romantic. Okay, we're talking art house fare but that's what we don't have enough of. As an actress Sophie Marceau was often associated with the type of movie that held no interest for me, fodder for the bubble-gum crowd, but as a writer-director she is a double-threat on whom I will keep an eye. See it only if you're discerning and value fine writing, acting and directing.

Cast not thy pearls before crickets

I quote from those without humility or humanity in Hong Kong and the next street; "As Sophie Marceau's debut, it is technically sound with pretty good lighting and cinematography. However etc. etc......and I look forward to more good works by Sophie -- not just a beautiful face! " Could this great cricket have made breakfast for the film crew? He is noble enough to wait for Mme Marceau to do better.

Thanks Sophie. There is more truth in your film than we deserve. Une alchimiste, vous avez bien reussie a transmuer la vie en art.

(Crickets are discussed in "The Horse's Mouth" by Joyce Cary, filmed with Alec Guinness in the role of the artist.)
