Monique and Marcel Resemble a Klimt Painting

Monique (beautiful Lola Naymark) would be a shoo-in as a Gustav Klimt model, and her most daring scene with Marcel (Robinson Stevenin) (@1hr 43m>29m) is reminiscent of Klimt's Adam and Eve. Then there's the painting's symbolism, which seems to fit too. Oui, peut-être, non?

Monique shouldered the highest level of responsibility by trying to protect Marcel, and though they struggled heroically, they were ultimately helpless.

It shows not only the woman power of Eve but the loneliness of the human person in the nature. -- Ilona Fekete

A phenomenal movie, to say the least. I, too, was struck by her staggeringly voluptuous beauty in that scene; I might have thought of Botticelli at first glance, but I will not argue with Klimt. As someone with Armenian/German heritage, I cannot begin to tell you how challenging this film was too watch. I'm extremely glad that I somehow made it through...

Right. Well, I have to-- I have to go now, Duane, because I, I'm due back on the planet Earth.
