La fidélité (2000)
(Fidelity)
Country: FR
Technical: col 166m
Director: Andrzej Zulawski
Cast: Sophie Marceau, Pascal Greggory, Guillaume Canet, Michel Subor, Magali Noël
Synopsis:
A photographer employed by a philistine magazine to boost its artistic image is successfully wooed by the heir to a publishing house that her owners wish to acquire; she then falls for another photographer who specialises in shocking human rights issues.
Review:
For a film which purports to be about fidelity, this is remarkably cluttered, whether from a desire to extend the marital to the familial or professional is unclear. In look and incident it most resembles Three Colours: Red, with its dying characters, preoccupation with images, older man-younger woman-younger man triangle and so on. It is well acted, by Marceau and Greggory especially, and directed in the intense, enigmatic style typical of its director, and it is at least preoccupied with the finer things (poetry, human rights, love eternal), but its length does make it a mite portentous.
