[font=Century Gothic]"Place Vendome" is a languorous misfire about a prestigious diamond merchant, Vincent Malivert(Bernard Fresson), who gets involved with bad people by buying stolen diamonds in order to finance his alcoholic wife's(Catherine Deneuve) expensive treatments. Facing disgrace and bankruptcy, he commits suicide. This has all the elements of a quality film but it is edited in a seemingly random way which drains all the life out of it but it almost does come together near the end when it puts together an intriguing back story for the major characters. Overall, this feels like a first draft of a script or even an outline. There is also a good cast, but that is wasted, too, along with Deneuve's twitchy performance.[/font]
