Even though I first saw this film in school I 'connected' from day one. The story never seems anachronistic and acts as the perfect foil for the love affaire between Depardieu and Baye.
For it is the interaction between these superb actors that makes this film stand out. Despite his size and somewhat ugly features Depardieu is a great romantic actor. He compels you to love him as she did. To understand why she accepted this man, a man she knew to be a total stranger, into her life.
Baye is a delight missed by those who steered clear of 'foreign language'. Without seeming over-sentimental her eyes seem constantly filled with troubling emotion. Through her expression not only do we see her love but we know that she fully comprehends the sin she is committing. Her triumph is the last scene where, without hysteria or excessive tears she manages to convey the pain of her breaking heart.
I was introduced to this film as a history lesson which is not such a bad reason for seeing it. But I would recommended it as a love story in the European style.
