Review of The Disenchanted (1990) by Aaron L — 08 Oct 2007

I have to admit that it is Judith Godreche's stunning beauty that first caught my glimpse, but after watching this movie, I can't help but feel... strangely enchanted by Les Disenchantees. Maybe it's in part to the excellent usage of the Parisian urban landscape, or perhaps the near-absence of background music, which helps enhance the human drama concerning a young woman's acceptance of taking on her cad boyfriend's dare (she's supposed to sleep with the ugliest guy in town!).

This may be a bit pretentious and intellectually contrived at times (a common complaint with American film audiences), but for those of us who have considerable patience, depth, and multi-cultural inclinations, this movie is worth viewing.

.. maybe even multiple times... and preferably speaking, not just ogling Judith Godreche! ;-) ;-P.
