A very curious, surreal film., 5 December 2002
7/10
Author: Tom Murray (tamurray@sympatico.ca) from Belleville, Ontario, Canada

"L'Ange et la femme" is a very curious, surreal, black-and-white film, based on the premises that angels exist on earth in the guise of humans and that they can resurrect the dead and affect the time stream and that they live for beauty.

A beautiful woman is murdered but is resurrected by the angel Gabriel who falls in love with her beauty. She has no memory of her past life. By keeping her alone with him in a home in the wilderness, away from humanity, he is able to teach her the angelic concept of beauty and she is able to learn to play the piano beautifully in a very short time. However, her longing to return to humanity leads her out of the protection and beauty of the angelic life.

The pace of the film is very slow but the ideas are fascinating. Those who take delight in the currently fashionable, romantic concept of angels might be disturbed by the film; Gabriel is more like the angels in the iconoclastic films "Dogma" and "Michael" than the one in "It's a Wonderful Life".
