and loved it! Thought it was beautiful - although I need to ask one thing at the end after his wife has died, and her sister approaches him and kisses his hand, what was her reaction? Did she just realise his frigidity or detect Marceau's scent?

She realises she's made a very, for a 19th century gentlewoman, very inappropriate advance towards a man who is in love with somebody else. A wonderful performance by the actress I think!

Thanks, and also to Dorisa - without whom I'd never have seen this film.

Firelight is a stunningly beautiful film, a real work of the cinematic art, that is successful on many levels. The story is rich and the photography magical. The acting is very strong and Sophie Marceau is surpringly good as the passionate heroine who stands up, not only for her own happiness but also for the happiness of her child. The characters have unexpected depths and do not behave predictably. It is also very set in a lovely house in the depths of winter and it is visually a feast.
As films go, this is a class act. A lesson to film makers, and a great movie to watch.
