Rating: 5 out of 5
Cast: Gérard Depardieu, Anne Brochet
The film is a tour-de-force of everything with the pillar being the play itself with its poetic verses. The film made me regret that I don't understand the French language, I can only imagine how it all sounds in the original tongue. I also have to commend the cinematography in this film, it's so perfect that it actually is a one whole with the ambience of the play. O European culture, I'm so glad you have such riches to be plunged in. It must have been a great pleasure for all actors involved to perform in this masterpiece, I'm sure such a material must be a treasure for real artists.
Verdict: Highly recommended: I envy those who haven't seen it yet. Your only concern may be the poetic nature of the film if anything.
