On the cusp of WWII, a leader of the White Rusians in Paris may just be a spy . . . but for whom?
Though denied a commercial theatrical release in the States (American indie fodder from Sundance now all but fills the old art house maw), this is a typically involving, if determinedly talky, pic from vet helmer Eric Rohmer. Known for his pointillist studies in manners & mores ‘francais,’ this late work tackles large political issues with a similar minimalist approach. In the years leading up to WWII, the last of the White Russians in Paris are struggling to maintain a presence just as the communist Popular Front comes to power and Stalin launches his deadliest internal purge back in the USSR. Rohmer keeps his focus on the wife of a Paris-based White Russian official as she watches for clues that might indicate just what side of the political fence this unflappably reasonable man leans toward. Or is he merely acting different parts for different situations? Rohmer’s film-making is all essentials now, but the gusts of dialogue & functional camera set-ups needn’t fool you. Rohmer remains an intensely visual artist with the easy mastery of the art that conceals art. Everyone is superb in their roles, but watch for Cyrielle Clair as a wealthy gossiping friend, she’s Parisian chic itself.
No satisfaction in this (may contain spoilers)
I was very disappointed by a slow and unimaginative camera and cutting, artificial and complicated dialogs, an aching scenario and some contradictions in the settings, e.g. the flat where the couple lives, being placed in a popular, poor context has an elevator… the more bourgeois house where the white Russians have their offices being without. Another element: the central couple is meant to be poor but drives a big family car. When the white Russians confront the main character in the office, they mention a taxi downstairs. He gets away and the pursuing white Russians come down to the street where no taxi waits. Later in the movie it is revealed that the main character hid in another apartment of the building – only in that case there should have been a taxi in front of the house. No, with all due respect, but this is lousy. I watched the DVD version with bonus elements, especially an extensive interview of an historian and one member of one family involved in the historical events. I’d like to mention the shaky sound quality and unnerving noises of a badly fixed microphone. I wondered whether anybody checked the sound before putting it on the DVD… Stay away from it – you’d be annoyed!
