A sublime corporeality informs Bonnaire's portrayal
09/06/09
Stripped of much of the incident that one would expect from an expansive biopic, but still remarkably satisfying, Rivette's two-film epic finds a psychological realism that's only enhanced by his unorthodox approach.
10/27/02
Austere and handsome, propelled by an unadorned but magnetic performance by Sandrine Bonnaire.
