L'accompagnatrice (1992)
(The Accompanist)
Country: FR
Technical: col 111m
Director: Claude Miller
Cast: Romane Bohringer, Richard Bohringer, Elena Safonova
Synopsis:
In Paris during the war a young pianist takes the job of accompanist for a renowned singer whose husband is getting rich on the occupation. Gradually she becomes her mistress's factotum, living her own life through hers.
Review:
This intriguing, but ultimately superficial, film was Bohringer's finest hour, and she does try hard in the role. However, the picture of life during the occupation is so sanitized it never quite convinces, and the film trades on its lavish production and prestige packaging the better to flatter that its banal characters actually have something to tell us.
