01/29/2012 Adapted from the book, it's fine but there is some boring moments and long dialogues. See more 09/13/2010 Depardieu is excellent (as always) in this intriguing tale of one man's quest to regain what is rightfully his, against the efforts of his manipulative wife, an antagonist who sets a new benchmark for greed and dishonour. See more 07/10/2009 great script, great direction, great cinematography, great music and above all tremendous acting See more 08/12/2008 Balzac est mort. Vive Angelo ! Le contraire eut ete plus rassurant pour l'histoire de l'art. See more 07/19/2008 Adaptation de l'oeuvre de Balzac. Un chef d'oeuvre absolu, raffinement de verites (sur le pouvoir, sur l'injustice, sur l'ambition, sur l'orgueil, sur la fatuite du prestige, sur l'honneur, sur l'hypocrisie humaine, sur la tromperie, sur l'impuissance, sur la blessure... sur la - Comedie humaine -, vaste perspective de Balzac !). Lenteurs evocatrices, silences d'or, musique pleine de gravite. La distribution au complet offre une performance spirituelle emouvante ! See more 05/23/2008 After finding the book by Balzac interesting, I was thoroughly disappointed by the film. First of all, the length was totally unnecessary and dominated by sombre, "artistic" scenes. Ardant and Depardieu were okay, I guess, but the actor playing Derville was annoying and didn't fit the role. I feel this book is in major need of a remake. See more Read all reviews
