Ozon seems to have missed the point
What a disappointment. It’s hard to know what attracted Ozon to Elizabeth Taylor’s fantastic source novel as his adaptation is misjudged on a number of levels. Although he slavishly sticks to Taylor’s plot, Ozon has real problems with – or chooses to ignore – the very things that are at the heart of the novel. Taylor’s ironic, often cruel wit is missing. Characters are softened in the way one would expect of Hollywood, but not of French cinema. He doesn’t seem able to master Taylor’s irony at all – the audience at last night’s London Film Festival screening were very confused about where and when they should laugh. It was impossible to know what the director felt about the characters. Almost entirely missing was Taylor’s exceptional portrait of class – one of the major themes of the novel. The film felt like a classic Europudding – rootless in an implausible world. There was very little sense of being in Edwardian Britain.

The film is overwrought and out of control. If I hadn’t already read the novel, I would have been completely puzzled by what I was watching and how I was supposed to respond or feel.

An utterly melodramatic present-day “Gone with the wind”
I really love this movie and keep seeing it again and again, as it reminds me very much of (as Ozon intended) the 1930’s-40’s epic melodramas and the role of Angel Deverell was intended to be like Vivien Leigh in “Gone with the wind”. Even before I had read that I thought about this all the time.It’s very rare to find nowadays a movie with modern-days technical perfection (brilliant colours and costumes and sound)but a 1940’s style. Everything is over the top, unbelievable but for me going to a movie means suspension of disbelief, do we need a film to be like reality? I don’t go to cinema to see reality, but to be taken to a different world, one of romance and it hardly gets more romantic than this. Read the interviews at www.francois-ozon.com and you will understand it all a lot better. This movie does not deserve the criticism it gets here as that’s comparing apples with oranges. This movie is PERFECT as it is made almost flawlessly and in a (for costume movie lovers) very lavish way, a great joy to watch and listen to, not to mention a very energetic and passionate Romola Garai, who I will love to see also in “Atonement”. A nice touch, in line with the 1940’s style, is that trips to London, Venice, Greece, Egypt are made the way they did in those days, not on location but a filmed background. Nothing is very realistic in this movie, but it shows what dreams are made of and I thank the director and actors highly for many hours of fantastic entertainment. In it’s genre it’s just as good as Lord of the Rings, which also did not have to be real to be wonderful, did it?
