Critic Reviews for Marguerite & Julien (Marguerite et Julien)
All Critics (9) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (7)
An overheated but haunting, strangely involving tale inspired by the doomed romance between real-life aristocratic French siblings circa 1600.
The excruciating experience of "Marguerite & Julien" need only be endured by viewers with an obsessive interest in the least constructive aesthetic currents in contemporary French cinema.
The wan narrative at hand fails on several levels, including an annoying amount of intentional anachronistic details that detract rather enhance.
Marguerite & Julien's romance is a non-item, but Donzelli sprinkles it with faux naiveté, which has the aftertaste of an artificial sweetener. Who would ever want to see this movie?
The widescreen intimacy of small moments - the flush of a rain-soaked cheek - humanizes Donzelli's grand folly and the couple who challenge the parameters of morality.
It's just downright odd and doesn't work.
