Review of Violette (2013) by Valeria P — 09 Dec 2014

I was struck by how emotionally immature and perverse this woman was. Always picking the wrong object for her affections. The film starts out with her living with a husband who is homosexual. And, from there on it is one unattainable love after another.

She actually becomes very angry because she is not loved in return. And, this business about being a bastard is beyond bizarre. Lady, you are alive. You are in good physical health. So, your parents were not married.

Get over it. You are not in line to become queen, not even for a day. I felt no sympathy for this creature. I found her "suffering" overwrought and not worthy of compassion. Perhaps a great writer, but definitely a pain in the ass.
