Review of Belle Toujours (2006) by Steve R — 09 Jul 2008
Michel Piccoli's turn as an aging lothario dandy is an absolute gem; he helps flesh out de Oliveira's otherwise abstract notions regarding the intersection of social class with sexual desire. I think I prefer de Oliveira's rational contemplation of irrational desires to the thoroughly irrational absurdity of Bunuel's original, but don't mistake that for a recommendation.
