Juliette Binoche was...

Terrific film, gets no respect which is a huge shame. Critics, like the critics of George Sand often miss the boat, oh well their loss.


Don't make me laugh, your kung fu is so so.

so true, she was simply amazing

When there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...

I'm just over halfway through watching and concur that the acting is superb as are the costumes, the scenery and film sets. I'm perplexed that it is criticised for no characterisation and a bad script. The script is amazing with so many fantastic lines I want to write down and given the dialogue I fail to see how this would mean no characterisation. There's characterisations aplenty in what they do as well as what they say. At the moment I believe I have a better understanding of Musset than Sand although I really felt for her in the aftermath of her book reading and the stinging rebukes she received.

An hour isn't an hour but a little bit of eternity in our hands

I think because de Musset is too unlikable a character. We have little to no empathy with him and so no investment in his story.
