Millennium: Season 1
A story of
infidelity and a society basically intolerant of such behaviour, A
French Woman tells the tale of Jeanne whose husband Louis is in the
army. When he is imprisoned, Jeanne rewards him by having a tawdry
affair.
As the movie
progresses, Jeanne finds herself in a position to consummate other
affairs behind poor Louis� back. As a viewer I didn�t find that the
story offered any real depth to speak of. If you were in it for the
naughty bits then that�s fine, but if you wanted something more, you
were left wondering why you bothered.
The movie attempts
to have a look at what women left behind during a war are faced with,
especially when they are passionate like Jeanne but I just couldn�t find
much beyond that to appreciate.
The video and audio
aren�t much to write home about on this release and there are only a
smattering of extras that quite frankly I don�t class as such. Trailers
are not extras in my book. Here is what you can expect from the movie�s
extras:
-
Cast and Crew
Filmographies
-
Photo Gallery

I can see where
director R�gis Wargnier was trying to head
with this film, I just failed to find it convincing. Give it a rent and
see what you think before committing to the purchase. |
