I have, in this film! Jeremy Irons waffles between speaking English (in the Australian scenes) and French (in the scenes in Belgium)! Potential viewers should realize that the French scenes do NOT have English subtitles, so if you don't speak the language fluently, you are on your own. It's a tribute to Irons' genius that one can understand most of what is going on in the film, and he makes a damn fine French movie star, extremely believable, right down to his subtle French accent in the English-speaking scenes. Tres bon, even though I was in the dark a lot of the time about exactly what was transpiring. -
Wanted to add that since then I've gotten a copy of the film with English subtitles, and it made all the difference. For instance, there's a fantastic scene where Ardant's character is in bed with Irons' character, sharing about her past in thorough detail, while he quietly listens, and knowing what she's actually saying in that scene was very enlightening to the rest of the movie.
