Quote:
It is an odd film: the central relationship between Joseph and Célestine is not entirely plausible, even as a desperate amour fou. But it is well acted and confidently performed.

This is a minor, flawed movie, but watchable in its suppressed, pornographic melodrama. –The GuardianRead More »
