Movie Review - The Lady and the Duke
L'Anglaise et le duc 2001
directed by Eric Rohmer
rating: 3 out of 5 jalapeños
on DVD from the vaults
The closest a Rohmer movie can get to watching paint dry, I guess. The backdrops are beautiful, the camerawork the same, but Grace Elliott lacks Delphine's rosy heart. Famous as a mistress to famous people, here she's without any love at all. She's the independent spirit that Rohmer never wrote, believing, as he always did, that everyone needs somebody.
