Review of Mademoiselle Chambon (2009) by Jim H — 23 Mar 2012
If you read the description of this movie - a man who falls for his child's school teacher-, then it sounds like a story that has been done a thousand times before, and Hollywood would present it with steamy and rapid sex scenes.
French cinema has a different pace, a different rhythm and a special sensibility. Real passion is expressed in this film, by subtly embracing while being deeply moved by a piece of music; profound emotions are shown through a discreet glance, an awkward silence, a heartfelt tear.
Beautiful, understated movie.
