Once ensconced in the city of lights, the indifferent members of French society have met their match.

Watching Pfeiffer chew up scene after scene while never raising her voice beyond a murmur is completely beguiling.   //   The story takes great liberties with reality and features several quite absurd moments like Frances ...

Jupe is especially expressive and delivers some very heartbreaking lines.
