      • Trivia
        Japanese translator Frederik L. Schodt translated the entire "Rose of Versailles" manga into English as a reference for the filmmakers, but gave the only copy of the translation to them and it was subsequently lost.
      • Goofs
        In the ballroom scene we see a string quartet and a harpsichordist. However, we hear the soundtrack of a string orchestra.

      Barry Lyndon's Callgirl
      The sad truth is that Jaques Demy is a horrible filmmaker. The much celebrated "Umbrella's of Cherbourg" was dreadful. Absolutely dreadful, but pretty in a stagy way. There isn't much you can say when you encounter something pretty but hollow. Of course it happens all the time to me, that I find movies with no soul. like girls trained to be empty.

      But there is something notable when something is so very pretty as this is, and so very empty at the same time.

      The provenance of this is at least interesting: a Japanese comic book. And if you wish to sit through it, you'll see copious references to "Barry Lyndon," on which this is clearly modeled. Now the magic of that was its carefully spaced vacuums. It had engineered emptiness, something that only a master could do.

      This. This is just empty.

      Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.
