![]() ![]() I was not at all put off by accents of the actors. One would wish for more intimate looks into their motivations and their respective desolations. It's a situation where one fervently wishes that the actors were better than they were, because you know that it would have made the movie a "10." Both Bean and Marceau did provide some excellent glimpses into the souls of their characters, but only glimpses. Ditto for Sean Bean, although he was somewhat better at it than Sophie. On the whole I thought her performance was pretty good, but I agree with the comments above that she could have exhibited a much more involved and emotional presence in the face of a love that she could not resist. As much as I like the film, however, I'm disappointed that Sophie Marceau's portrayal of Anna was not more passionate. Visually this movie is incredible! The cinematography could not have been much better, down to small details such as Levin "mowing" in the fields with the scythe in perfect rhythm with the workers. Nonetheless I caught it on one of the Encore channels last night, and I'm glad I did. ![]() I'm not sure how this movie slipped past me, as I try to stay on top of the period movies that come out. ![]()
