A crisp, elegantly resonant film.
The film, like its lovers, is fond, giddy and poetic about love and death.
May worship heedlessly at Duras's memory, but it's a testament to Moreau alone.
Moreau is magnetic as the wise-but-neurotic scribe, though the same can't be said of Demarigny, whose timid portrayal of a reverent fanboy sucks the energy out of most of his scenes. Dayan's direction is even more problematic.
There is one reason, and one reason alone, to watch Cet Amour-La. It is Jeanne Moreau.
You can forget about veracity, since this gauzy and sometimes dopey romanticization can't be trusted.
The movie that Josée Dayan has made about the Duras-Andréa affair is not a scandal. Unfortunately, it’s not much of anything but a solemn joke. [14 April 2003, p.88]
