The narrative is suffused with subtle yet piquant moral commentary.

What saves this from being a dull downer is the lightness of touch in the direction and performances, the spontaneity of the dialogue as characters discuss dress designs or household expenditure.

A respectful adaptation, yet one that fails to translate the intensity of Maupassant's writing.

The director Stéphane Brizé does some lovely work with non-chronological flashbacks and flash-forwards, but the deadening sense that we know exactly where this is going (hint: not up) is never quite undone.

Whirlwind is something of a watchword for this inventive melodrama, which condenses into some 27 years into two hours, using daringly succinct, precise scenes, brilliantly spliced by editor Anne Klotz.

A Fascinating period drama, made with a deft hand and an assured style. Beautifully made with some the impeccable lead performances.
