Review of Mademoiselle Chambon (2009) by Dickie L — 04 Jun 2010
Why is almost every French film about adultery? Right from the first time we see married Jean (Vincent Lindon - the French Bryan Brown) clap eyes on the titular character, you just know they are going to end up writhing around in bed together.
It takes the entire length of the film for them to arrive at the inevitable, and its a tedious wait. You know how in some films nothing much happens but it doesn't matter because the journey is so good? This isn't one of those films.
Bugger all happens. It's boring. And wouldn't you know, M Chambon plays the violin, so we get long stretches of maudlin violin music while our leads mistily stare off into space. Film continues the rather odd cinematic tradition of featuring a real-life couple (at least, they used to be) who offer no on-screen sparks.
